SIMULTAN Festival XIX. /2024' desire for the useless '
3__6.10 MX. Timișoara
Doors open 3 Oct 18:00

The 19th edition of the SIMULTAN Festival is set to unfold between 3-6 October 2024, in Timișoara, continuing its exploration of the relationship between art, technology and society, through different artistic methods and practices.
The four day program presents video art, installations and live events where some of the themes and methods are: stylistic eclecticism, the relationship between man and automation, recycling or ecological themes, improvisational music in alternative or obsolete technical conditions, digital lyricism, fusion of acoustic and electronic instruments, expanded cinema.
As the festival continues to deepen its inquiry into the relationship between technology and humanity, Desire for the Useless serves as a contemplative theme.
In a world where simulations often replace reality, the line between useful and useless becomes blurred. Uselessness reveals the constructed nature of perceptions, prompting us to reconsider what we consider real or valuable. […]
The desire for the useless is not about pursuing uselessness. Rather, it’s about finding meaning in the seemingly impractical through creativity, critical thinking, and insight. Think of desire as energy, not a void. When desire is free from the constraints of utility, it becomes a force that drives us towards new ideas and expressions, showing us that the useless has its own productivity.
True to its exploratory nature, the festival will once again be hosted at the MX (Corneliu Miklosi Museum and the former tram factory workshops), a venue that has become synonymous with the event in recent years.
The 19 edition’s live program features artists who are actively engaged in the field of sonic art and the experimental music scene, as follows:
Alexander Iezzi + Billy Bultheel + Ivan Cheng + Periklis Lazarou as 33, Feldermelder, Frank Vigroux + Antoine Schmitt, Alessandra Eramo, Maria V Horn, Magda Drozd, Tony Ellieh + Andrei Cucu, Hanno Leichtmann + Valerio Tricoli, Roberto Maqueda, Micleușanu M, Diana Miron, and Rebecca Salvadori presents Messenger
