The DEAF98 Festival explores the productive potentials of rupture,
friction, instability and unpredictability. The 'ars accidentalis' embraces
malfunction and accidents as inherent to technology and integrates them
into the creative process. DEAF98 presents and discusses accidents and
their preferred environments in areas like art, sound, architecture, urban
planning, economy, and electronic networks.

The DEAF98 Symposium is a two-day conference that includes lectures by an
international panel of artists, theorists, trans-architects and scientists.
It initiates a productive dialogue about unpredictability and control,
perception and construction, non-linearity, dynamic environments, and
changing concepts of time and space. Social, political, artistic and
architectural discourses intersect on this interdisciplinary discussion
platform. (Symposium language: English)
