Where Creativity, Technology, and Humanity Converge
The Transhumanist Festival recognizes that cultural and artistic endeavors are just as crucial to our collective future as scientific research. Here, art and design do more than simply illustrate ideas; they shape the narratives through which we understand ourselves and our evolving relationship with technology. By highlighting film, architecture, visual arts, and innovative design, we reveal how creativity can spark vital conversations, stimulate ethics, and open up new horizons for what it means to be human in a world of rapid change.

Artistic Installations & Exhibitions
Visitors can immerse themselves in speculative environments that challenge conventional boundaries of human experience. The exhibitions showcase works across multiple disciplines, including conceptual architectural models that reimagine living spaces for enhanced humans, environmental designs that respond to biological inputs, innovative textiles and wearable technologies that extend sensory capabilities, and immersive spatial installations that blur the line between physical and digital realms.
Rather than presenting a unified vision, the exhibitions offer a spectrum of perspectives—some embracing technological enhancement, others questioning its implications. Artists from varied backgrounds contribute works that may provoke, inspire, or simply invite contemplation about possible futures where the definition of humanity itself becomes increasingly fluid.The exhibitions remain accessible throughout the duration of the summer school, providing participants with opportunities to reflect on the theoretical concepts discussed during daytime sessions while experiencing their artistic interpretations. Evening events occasionally bring together exhibition artists and summer school participants for informal discussions that further enrich both experiences.
These art spaces serve as vital platforms for cultural dialogue about transhumanism beyond academic or technical contexts, making complex ideas accessible to broader audiences through the universal language of artistic expression.
