Every year CODE brings together artists and non-artists in a five-month process of inspiration, discussion, collaboration and co-creation. They work together in groups to produce digital art installations, interactive media, performances, immersive experiences and artistic interventions. All the works, each in their own way, address questions that are central to the CODE project: How can we improve the agency we have over our digital lives? How can we become less dependent on Big Tech? How can governments better protect our digital rights, and how can we convey the urgency to act? What steps can we, as concerned citizens, users, researchers and artists, take to support the critical process? This year’s exhibition presents two of the projects, Technosferatu and V.I.B.E. and a workshop Canary in the Coal Mine, produced by the groups that participated in CODE 2025. We will also present the CODE Fortune Cookies. 

CODE 2025 is organized by IMPAKT (NL), Werktank (BE), Privacy Salon (BE) and NØ SCHOOL (FR). The participants who worked together for CODE 2025 are based in Belgium and the Netherlands and have a wide variety of nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
