OPEN CALL
Calling all artists, digital creators, and visionaries — the future needs your imagination. This year, ON SCREEN invites you to explore the evolving fusion between humanity and artificial intelligence. As we step deeper into a world shaped by digital consciousness and machine learning, our realities begin to shift — fluid, networked, redefined. "Human Echoes: Beyond the Digital Horizon" challenges you to question the limits of identity, memory, and meaning in an age of intelligent machines and synthetic perception. What is human in a world where code feels? Where pixels remember?
Where creation is shared between artist and algorithm? We’re looking for bold, experimental works that navigate this post-human terrain — digital art, animation, video performance, or AI-driven visions that echo across the threshold of technology and being.
This is not just a festival. It’s a space of reflection, of speculation, of possibility. A digital stage where art and machine speak as one.
Human Echoes: Beyond the Digital Horizon
ON SCREEN 2025 presents the third edition of its international digital and video art festival, which will be streamed worldwide via the prestigious platform Goes :Art. The 2025 edition is titled “Human Echoes: Beyond the Digital Horizon” and marks a groundbreaking exploration of the boundaries between the human, the machine, and artificial intelligence (AI).
In an era where technological innovation and digital transformation are profoundly reshaping our lives, the festival becomes a stage for avant-garde and experimental art. It examines fundamental questions about post-human reality, placing the fusion of human and machine at the center of the debate. It also opens up a space for reflecting on paradigm shifts and artistically exploring the multidimensional effects of AI, digital and non-digital identities, and transformed perception.
Structured as a six-part streaming series, the festival offers artists from around the world a unique platform to showcase their innovative works while addressing the critical questions of our post-digital future. Through this series, audiences embark on a journey through diverse themes such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, and the concept of posthumanity.
“Human Echoes: Beyond the Digital Horizon” delves into the pressing questions facing humanity at the threshold of a new digital era. The six seasons of the festival offer an in-depth exploration of the post-human future, in which artificial intelligence and digital technologies act both as tools and as partners of the human experience.
Broadcast on the Goes :Art platform, the festival brings together artists, innovators, and viewers from across the globe, inviting them to immerse themselves in a journey into the post-digital universe—beyond the horizon, where the echoes of human creativity and AI-driven innovation merge. ON SCREEN 2025 is not just an artistic event; it is a reflection on the coming digital age and the transformation of human existence within a reality shaped by artificial intelligence.
This festival is an open invitation to everyone to reflect on the future of humanity and its relationship with technology, as the “echoes” of humanity continue to resonate beyond the digital horizon.
