PERFORMANCE: CharacterScope Showdown Party

Shake off your visual fatigue with live performances by whizz-kid Ben Butler & Mousepad, the ludic duo Gangpol & Mit, energising PAN/TONE and DJ-set by minimal-legend Tobias Thomas (Kompakt). Space out to the visual installation of Motomichi Nakamura and W+K Tokyolab while travelling through the soundscape of Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat. Or propel yourself to the upper level, where O Tannenbaum entangles you in an open mix.

EXHIBITION: Pictopia Opening

Pictopia opens its gates – and starts with a big bang! Stroll down the lanes of Character Kingdom to the heart of Pictopia, go crazy in the Fun House by FriendsWithYou and hop back on the Character Ride. After reliving the all-time best of ‘Characters in Motion’ on the big screen, dance the night away with a live performance by Candie Hank and DJ Mobiletti Giradischi. But be warned: the creatures awake and await you at the central market for truly character-driven bumper car combat.
