Opening of the festival at FFT: Friday, 1 September 2023
Duration of the festival: 1– 30 September 2023

With the Peer to Peer – A Month of Media Art in NRW event series in September 2023, the Office medienwerk.nrw and cooperation partners invite to a journey through the diverse and charismatic media art landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia. In workshops, performances, presentations, talks and urban walks, we look at current debates in the field of tension between art and technology on five consecutive weekends in Düsseldorf, Cologne, Havixbeck (near Münster) and Essen and position these jointly in a broader socio-political context. The starting point is provided by the sponsored projects from the programmes Medienkunstfonds and Medienkunstfellows of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Peer to Peer – A Month of Media Art in NRW was organised by medienwerk.nrw in cooperation with Burg Hülshoff – Center for Literature, Havixbeck | FFT Düsseldorf | Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln | PACT Zollverein, Essen | Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Cologne.
