Error stems from the Latin word errō and does not only mean to be wrong but also to wander about. Wandering about – and wondering – seems to be a fitting mode when visiting a festival for art, technology and society that approaches such a multifaceted term as error. Of course, from a curatorial and certainly an organizational viewpoint, there have to be subdivisions, especially when it comes to setting up installations in premises measuring almost 100,000 square meters. The theme exhibitions have been structured according to two fundamental approaches, though they overlap to a great extent:
Error, Fake & Failure: Art and Technology projects motivated primarily by research and exploration make up the exhibits in the large halls on the 1st Upper Level of POSTCITY;
Error in Progress: art and technology projects that are primarily means of artistic expression predominate in the large exhibition parcours arrayed in the spectacular spaces of the Lower Levels at POSTCITY.
