Opening TEC ART Festival 2026
Nieuwe Instituut and TEC ART Festival invite you to the opening event of TEC ART 2026, featuring the Dutch premiere of Afterlives (2025) by filmmaker and media artist Kevin B. Lee. A welcome by Sanneke Huisman and Guido Bertling is followed by the screening of Lee’s latest feature-length desktop documentary exploring how images of extremist propaganda circulate, transform, and persist across history and digital media.
26 March 2026 17:00 - 19:00
TEC ART is an art festival that explores how technology mediates and shapes our lives, politics, and perception of reality. The 2026 edition, Learn to Love the Bomb, brings together international artists who critically examine how war is mediated through contemporary media and technology. From 26–29 March, Museumpark Rotterdam will transform into a large-scale group exhibition, where artists react to the social, political, and technological systems shaping the war-driven world of the 21st century.
