PREVIEW

You will notice this is not a conventional exhibition. As it deals with offline and online worlds, this festival is also and necessarily an art and a meta-art event. As it happens in an expanded world, where money almost disappeared into fiscal heavens or is being captured by the central banks and governments of the world, this is a new normal show and a penniless one!

Lisbon will be again the physical interface of The New Art Fest. This means that we still have a few good institutional and private friends, as well as artists, technologists, and other cognitive experts, and free thinkers willing to join the party.
