Automata Festival has announced its debut edition, taking place from November 8 and 10 at Bucharest’s Control Club—which is presenting, organizing, and curating the festival.

Automata will feature performances from an inspired list of local and international artists, including live sets from Kolorit (Kassem Mosse and Lowtec), Alessandro Cortini, Blackest Ever Black’s Carla dal Forno, Cosmin Nicolae, Posh Isolation’s Croation Armor, SIT (a.k.a. Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia), Huerco S. presents Pendant, and ambiq, as well as DJ sets from Luca Lozano, Borusiade, Alexandra, and more.

More than just a party-focused festival, Automata looks to shine a light and give a platform to under-rated local talents via live concerts, specially commissioned visual representations, DJ sets, workshops, and artist talks. The festival was “conceived as a multidisciplinary catalyst of human-technology interaction, that puts forth not a foretelling of the future, but a better understanding of the present.”
