Start. Stop. And in between? Movement! Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes progress, sometimes regression. Sometimes at the speed of light. The topic "On the Move" focuses on "movement"—in all imaginable interpretations.

The universe has been in motion since the big bang. And while the earth rotates around its own axis at a speed of 1,670 kilometres per hour—and we with it—the universe and our horizon are expanding: Our lives are determined by data and commodity flows, transactions, and permanent fluctuation of information. We overcome great distances in the blink of an eye, by video link or budget airline.

We want to grasp and capture changes, trace and follow them: In sweatshops, migration "waves", rural - or by now again urban - exodus, networks and other (cyber-)spaces as well as in our bodies, which don't even really rest in sleep.

Up and go! —in dance, in art, in sport, in newest trending vehicle—driverless, or on two wheels. The topic "On the Move" invites you to perform, to sprint, take the mental leap, to confront, to take creative space. For three days, we will seek answers to the questions of how we cross digital spaces, of when we will return to the analogue, and how we experience reality with digital technology. How does our movement change through tech, and how does our perception of movement change? When and from what do we let ourselves be guided—through the city, through life, through the net?  

From click, swoosh and swipe to games, gadgets and earth sciences to flash and mob, dance culture, particle accelerators and transportation design—we are on the move!
