Taking place from May 29 to June 1, 2025, FIBER’s 10th edition promises to be one of its most ambitious and exciting yet, marking 15 years of the FIBER organization—a platform known for pushing creative boundaries at the intersection of art, technology, and society.
What Is FIBER Festival?
Founded in Amsterdam, FIBER is more than just a festival—it's a forward-thinking platform that connects artists, designers, researchers, musicians, and technologists. Through a mix of public events, exhibitions, labs, and talks, FIBER explores how we experience the rapidly changing world around us through digital media and experimental aesthetics.
In 2025, the festival will spread across various iconic venues in Amsterdam, offering audiences an opportunity to experience:
- Audiovisual performances that blend live music, visual art, and real-time technology
- Immersive installations that challenge the senses and play with perception
- Electronic music club nights featuring cutting-edge international and local artists
- Talks, panels, and artist meetups diving deep into contemporary creative practices
Whether you're a digital art nerd, music lover, tech-curious creative, or just someone who loves being inspired, FIBER offers a rare chance to experience next-level work that often falls outside of the mainstream.

Festival Highlight: Jenny Hval’s Dutch Premiere

Also performing that night are Ukrainian duo Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko, whose piece Гільдеґарда (Hildegarde) draws on medieval themes, combining vocals, field recordings, and digital soundscapes.
