BETA FESTIVAL 2026

6-22nd November

This year, Beta Festival explores how technology is reshaping how we sense, perceive and understand the world around us. Bringing together artists working across installation, performance, sound, games, AI and digital media, the programme asks what happens when we de-centre the human perspective and begin to consider the intelligence of landscapes, plants, animals, machines and data.

Through immersive experiences and participatory artworks, audiences are invited to encounter technologies as systems that shape our relationships with each other and with the environments we inhabit.

From biofeedback and environmental sensing to artificial intelligence, speculative ecologies and multispecies collaboration, this year's festival explores the entangled boundaries between the digital and the living. Instead of imagining technology as separate from nature, the works reveal the hidden infrastructures, ecological networks and more-than-human worlds that underpin contemporary life.
