</div>
<div class="">Do you think technology is dissatisfying enough when it freezes, crashes or breaks down? There may be greater dissatisfaction in store for you. What if the most dissatisfying technology of all is the one that works?<br class="">
<br class="">

<div class="">PROFESSIONALS PROGRAMME</div>
<div class="">For the Professionals Programme of this year’s festival, we are inspired by the general concept of the festival, and added some additional topics, to open up discussions to challenge and further explore the field of media art. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We invite professionals attending the IMPAKT Festival 2022 to a series of sessions relevant to the field of media art and media art institutions. Alongside artists’ presentations and networking opportunities, we will also host two curated sessions
with experts. The first session will focus on collaborative and critical curation that does not emphasise artistic value as a way to critically engage with societal debates. The second session will revolve around the production and development of hybrid event
formats that bring together online and offline audiences. </div>
