A new media art festival that pulls the audience in.
Kinomural? It’s a festival that experiments with imagination, offers new sensations, and lets you experience art beyond the gallery. Join us for two nights—September 19 and 20 in Wrocław. This year’s program features 90 outstanding artists from 20 countries and over 500 large-scale projections on tenement house walls.
Who are the festival’s headliners?
You may not recognize all the names or pseudonyms, but you certainly know their art—you’ve seen their work online, in music videos, at concerts, in TV shows, or in commercials.
New media art is everywhere—sometimes hidden in plain sight. From AR filters on your phone to generative visuals at concerts, from motion graphics in public spaces to interactive screens in museums and stores, new media has become part of the visual language of daily life. What was once experimental is now how we communicate, play, and express ourselves. In recent years, it has spread into so many fields because it speaks the language of the present—data, speed, interaction, fluidity. It adapts. And as the tools evolve, so does art,” comments Yoshi Sodeoka, one of the festival’s stars.
Festival regular Peter Burr, a New Yorker, adds:
“During Kinomural, the city grows a skin. For a few nights, cracked stone facades breathe light, filled with images that resist permanence. Artists return because our work never stays still—we’re always eager to catch its flicker, its wavering, its dissolving into the night.”
What’s on the program? Between Homer and sci-fi
Every year, curators carefully select the program, offering two nights of the most important works of new media art—by emerging voices as well as pioneers and legends of audiovisual art. This year’s theme, ODYSSEY: BETA VERSION, immerses audiences in visions, dreams, and digital myths. It’s a 21st-century audiovisual mythology—between Homer and sci-fi. The program includes two main curatorial walls, the core of Kinomural, developed by the event’s founders, the Bartos brothers.
