ART+TECH Festival [2026] - Assembling the New Human
Step into the year 2036.
Before we officially kick off The New Human Creative Hackathon on March 6, join us for a dedicated pre-session to explore project proposals, meet potential collaborators, and join a team if it feels right.
This session is designed to turn “what if” into “who with.”
Whether you’re looking for a team, pitching an idea, or simply exploring the intersection of ART + TECH, this is where your journey begins.
During the event
Archetypal Alignment
Identify your role within our four creative forces. Are you:
The Alchemist — the builder
The Storyworld Architect — the narrator
The Systems Imagineer — the strategist
The Embodied Explorer — the sensory guide
Project Previews
Watch short presentations from teams and individuals who have already shared their visions on the CODAME platform:

Global Networking
Connect with a multidisciplinary community spanning Milan, San Francisco, and our wider remote global network.
Creative Dialogue
Begin conversations around how we imagine The New Human ten years from now (2036). We’ll explore questions such as:
When cognition is shared between humans and machines, where does thinking end — and where does authorship begin?
As bodies become augmented and programmable, what remains deeply personal, emotional, and human?
Living inside a digital nervous system, how do we design for care, agency, and connection — not just efficiency?
Who should join
Existing Teams
Find that missing piece — a technical hacker, a performance artist, a systems thinker — to complete your vision.
Individual Hackers
Discover emerging projects and contribute your skills to a team aligned with your creative philosophy.
The Curious
Still deciding whether to participate? Come meet the community, see ideas taking shape, and understand how our 24-hour creative hackathon collaboration works.
Why join now
The best collaborations often start before the clock begins ticking. This is your chance to become visible, discover future collaborators, and understand how laboratory-born ideas can evolve into full-scale installations for Milano Art Week, Milano Design Week, San Francisco, and Shanghai as part of the ART+TECH Festival 2026.
