TEC ART

After last year's spring edition, TEC ART Festival is back again in the city center of Rotterdam from February 8 - 12 for its ten yearanniversary during a traditional winter edition of Rotterdam Art Week!

Crazy celebrations call for mad themes, so we are proud to announce TEC ART '23 is the kick-off for the organisation's year long thematic research into the theme of... DRUGS!

The topic of drugs is urgent not only because of the never-ending, inefficient war on drugs and Big Pharma's monopoly, but also because of the increasing intertwinement with technology in the form of recreational biotec designer drugs such as 4-FMP, Benzo Fury and 2C-B.

How can we move away from the repressive policies, pushing drug use into illegality and creating a dangerous shadow economy that has a tight grip on both individual users and society as a whole? What does it take to move towards an act of legalization, acknowledging the positive relation between drugs and the development of our art and culture?

TEC ART presents a mind-altering festival program, including a scientific symposium on drugs, an outdoor and indoor expo with mega installations and upcoming talents, two club nights and an obscure cultfilm screening. See below for some highlights and the complete agenda.

The thematic research into drugs comes to a high point during GOGBOT Festival from September 7 - 10 in Enschede, but first get ready for a psychedelic edition of TEC ART - be there or be forgotten!
