ABOUT FIBER FESTIVAL
FIBER Festival is an Amsterdam based meeting place for everyone interested in contemporary audiovisual art, daring conversations and experimental electronic music. With its 8th edition FIBER invites a curious audience to explore a multi-sensory programme that reimagines the relationships between humans, technology and a radically changing world. During the festival there will be an exhibition that you can visit every day.
THEME: FRAGMENTS
For its 2023 festival edition, FIBER explores the theme of Fragments. Carrying a duality between something falling apart while simultaneously offering a chance to rearrange and explore new compositions. Fragments invites you to reassemble a new understanding of our surroundings and identities, using different acts of listening, music, sound, sonic speculation, and magical worldbuilding as inspiring and critical media.

The second iteration of the Audiovisual Art Assembly (AAA) happens Friday May 12 at Oedipus Brewery. This one-day event functions as a platform for a wide variety of artistic makers and thinkers to exchange making processes and research methodologies in the fields of media art, electronic music, sound art, design and research. At the same time, possible relationships and ways of collaborating between the arts and (academic) research will also be examined. This includes the relationships between art practices and technological, ecological and social topics. The event closes with an afternoon of networking accompanied by drinks and music.
