xCoAx 2024 x FABRICA
xCoAx is a multi-modal event (conference, exhibition, performances) where digital machines and media intersect art, culture, and communication, creating a versatile enquiry on aesthetics, computation, communication and the elusive X factor that connects them and makes everything more exciting.
In an ongoing quest towards new directions in aesthetics, xCoAx explores the unpredictable results of creative freedom overlapping with algorithmic rules, of human nature interacting with computing technology.
xCoAx is a venue full of beauty, challenges, and fun for artists, media practitioners, makers, scholars and anyone with a curious mind to exchange ideas in search of interdisciplinary synergies and new creative modalities at the thresholds between digital arts and culture.
xCoAx has toured around Europe throughout the years: Bergamo, Porto, Glasgow, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Graz, Coimbra, and Weimar.
