NaN Festival

Not a Number” is an error — not expected and doesn’t fit in.

The three‑day NaN festival celebrates computer music with all its errors and beyond, featuring two club nights, one experimental concert, one live‑coding workshop, and
one unconference—loaded with the most conceptual conjectures and hyper‑mixtures of music, sound, imagery, text, texture, algorithms, rhythm, errors—and togetherness.

Only a small pinch of nostalgia for the 10(+2)‑year Algorave, and a more generous amount of spicy speculation for the years to come.

Artists joining: Benoît and the Mandelbrots, Sofi, EVOL, Shelly Knotts, Friday Dunard, nervousdata, Alo Allik, Lain Iwakura, et al.
