This year’s festival will explore how artificial intelligence intersects with art, science, and technology through a series of immersive learning activities, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking symposiums.

The four-day event will start with a thought-provoking symposium on Mathematics, AI and Creative Patterns at Bletchley Park on 2nd October and culminate on Saturday 5th October with an extraordinary FREE evening of entertainment. It will start with a light projection on on MK Central Library by Limbic Cinema, then the popular Electric Drummers will return, leading the Parade of Lights and joined by Eva the Polar Bear, a large mechanical puppet, through the streets to Campbell Park.

The event will culminate with an exhilarating ‘Theatre in the Sky’ display by the world-renowned drone art show company Celestial, accompanied by the electric sounds of Jimi Needles & the Club Classics Orchestra at Campbell Park.

This year’s festival will also explore the theme of the fascinating world of bees and their ability to construct intricate, geometrically flawless structures. A visual representation of this idea has been the creation of an interactive artwork called “The HIVE,” created by local students and artists and will be on display in the Central Library on Saturday, 5th October for a month.

Through a captivating blend of art, light, and technology, the festival will celebrate the beauty of nature’s engineering alongside human creativity, demonstrating how these elements come together to inspire new ways of thinking.
