Kaleidoscopic Fields: Across Mountains and Oceans

Since 2020, BeFantastic Fellowships have nurtured the interdisciplinary practice of TechArt, bringing together artists, designers, and creative technologists to merge cutting-edge technologies with impactful art. This program fosters collaboration among emerging and experienced practitioners who believe in the transformative power of art and the digital age.

Food unites every living entity, human and non-human, on an innately fundamental level. It is a story of interdependence, resilience, and creativity. From majestic mountains to vibrant oceans and dynamic urban landscapes, Kaleidoscopic Fields delves into traditional and contemporary food cultures as it connects with a sense of climate optimism.
