About WIP Festival
WIP (Work in Progress) Festival hosted in Nicosia, Cyprus, is an ever-evolving series of activities and exhibitions focused on arts & technology synergies. Organized by CYENS Centre of Excellence together with esteemed collaborators, the festival is breaking new ground in the east Mediterranean, aiming to become an annual reference point for scientists and creatives experimenting at the intersection of Arts, Science and Technology.
As stated by its name, WIP festival embraces the notion that both art and research are a Work in Progress. As such, it features a program of workshops, discussions, and presentations that focuses on the creative processes. Effectively, the works on display are considered as in process products open to an active engagement between the observer and the creator and encouraging a dialogue on the impact of technology on our society and contemporary culture.
WIP Arts and Technology Festival welcomes you whether you’re an artist ready to showcase your work or a visitor excited about the outcomes of the intersection of art and technology.
