Season 05 continues the festival's engagement with the theme of "Post-Digital Reality," exploring the dissolving boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. The festival provides a platform for artists experimenting with new technologies and media to question our perception of reality, identity, and space. The diversity of works displayed in this season demonstrates the potential of digital art to expand traditional ideas of art and human experience. The premiere serves as an important event to reflect on the impact of digital technologies on our lives and our understanding of art. The selection of artists and their work highlights the ON SCREEN Festival's commitment to presenting innovative and challenging artworks that encourage viewers to think critically. The festival continues to foster a conversation about what it means to be human in a world where the boundaries between self and technology are blurring.
