PILAR ASAP The Glitch Edition

UPDATE COVID-19: As a result of the current outbreak of the Coronavirus, the VUB is taking further measures to limit the spread of the virus as much as possible. This means, that all planned events from Pilar until the end of the Easter holidays (19/04/2020) will be suspended and rescheduled where possible. 

In March, Pilar again concentrates its attention on a specific topic. This time, we leave the path of the foreseen and ... let go of control. Unexpected deviations are given free rein: open and exposed. To what point does a glitch in a system remain an undesirable mistake? PILAR ASAP - The Glitch Edition showcases the other side of the coin. An ode to the momentum where a system derails. We invite artists, theater makers, musicians and thinkers who track down these crashes, bugs, errors, feedback, and noise, exposing visible and invisible errors in society in doing so. Is there poetry in error? And to what extent, does it nourish our imagination, creativity, and perception of reality?

PILAR ASAP is a semi-annual, multidisciplinary festival with a narrative programme. Attuned to the pulse of society, we merge different artistic and scientific disciplines. At PILAR ASAP you can experience a challenging, varied offer: from exhibition, debate and workshops to concert evenings. Central to it is the work of (young) artists that we think you should discover as soon as possible. For a month they will be part of our Art Science Association Platform. (ASAP)
