The CYFEST 17 Media Art Festival presents “Natura Naturans: Human Beings, Nature, Landscape”, a new edition of one of the longest-running international festivals devoted to media art. It brings together artists, curators, engineers and activists from around the world working with time-based installations, sound, video art, algorithmic compositions and other hybrid forms in a shared reflection on the relationships between human beings, nature and landscape.
CYFEST is an itinerant media art festival now in its 17th edition, which began in Thessaloniki at the end of 2025 and will continue in Venice with a programme of performances, screenings and discussions, culminating in the temporary exhibition Natura Naturans: Human Beings, Nature, Landscape at CREA Cantieri del Contemporaneo.
Curated by CYLAND MediaArtLab in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Center for Studies in Russian, Central Asian and Caucasian Art.
