Programme
The first half of the event features workshop-lectures by Gizem Öz and Pauric Freeman. They'll share their experiences, techniques, and vision for creating immersive experiences that transcend traditional boundaries between art and nightlife. We'll uncover the creative processes—both conceptual and technical—behind ground-breaking projects that merge art, technology, and nightlife. Whether you're an artist, developer, club owner, or simply curious about this evolving landscape, this event offers valuable insights and inspiration.
In the second half, there will be an audio-visual performance from Pauric Freeman, presenting his work Structures. Composed for modular synthesizers, drum machines, and generative visuals, the performance challenges the audience to reimagine their perception of sound through the integration of visuals, constantly developing and dismantling the relationships between music and image.
After the presentations and performance, there is room for drinks and networking. This is your chance to connect with industry professionals, fellow artists, developers, and event organizers working at the intersection of nightlife, music, and immersive art.

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
