The inaugural edition features filmmaker Werner Herzog as a keynote speaker, alongside architect Francis Kéré and artist Maya Lin. Other participants include artist Matthew Barney, who will debut a new performance piece titled "TACTICAL parallax," as well as Paul Chan, Mimi Park, Jota Mombaça, Cannupa Hanska Luger, and the duo of Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Rafiq Bhatia. The program includes site-specific art, dialogues, and conversations exploring themes such as ecstatic truth, artificial intelligence, and the origin of life.
