A key event for the international arts scene, SXSW is the biggest cultural festival in North America. Divided into three sections, held on consecutive weeks, the festival features a vast programme dedicated to interactive art, music and film, offering a perfect location to catch bands, premiere screenings and the latest from around the world.
The strength of this mega event over the years has been its ability to bring together mainstream productions and the independent scene, attracting to Austin for ten days musicians, film directors, artists and innovators of the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Willem Dafoe, Ray Kurzveil, Bruce Sterling, Tim O’Reilly, Stephen Wolfram and Jaron Lanier.
The week dedicated to interactive art is more than just a festival—it’s a hotbed for cutting-edge technology, where the most inspired minds in new, emerging fields present their websites, games, applications and amazing ideas.
