Mesh – Festival for Art and Technology
Overview
Intro
Mesh asks how we want to live together in future and questions urban utopias.
Mesh – Festival for Art and Technology – poses the question in its 2026 edition: How do we want to live together in the future – especially in our cities? Mesh combines art and technology with social issues. The program demonstrates that urban spaces and their future can be shaped by those who inhabit them. Beyond the conference, exhibitions, workshops and club nights, Mesh acts as platform for collective exchange and care.
The 2026 edition, Infrastructures of Care, points to the foundations that make a good life possible: social relationships, equitable technologies, and a mindful engagement with the environment. Care is understood here as something collective—a practice we shape together.
With Mesh 2026, we bring into focus how everything connects—and warmly invite everyone to take part in actively and equitably shaping spaces and visions together at Dreispitz in Basel this October.
Mesh is a joint initiative of HEK (House of Electronic Arts), iart – studio for media architectures, and Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW (HGK Basel).
