Kikk Festival

The festival traces the evolution of sound, from its natural origins to its contemporary transformations, and questions how artificial intelligence and engineering are reshaping the way we listen and connect to the world. We dive into the realm of waves, resonances, and feedback loops, where sound meets rituals, traditions, and shared imagination.

Universal and primal, sound connects us across cultures, evoking mystical experiences and altered states of consciousness. Boom boom tchak, a fundamental rhythmic pattern found in many forms of music, embodies the dialogue between bass and snare, that pulse which drives motion and dance.
In this edition, we celebrate this universal rhythm as a bridge between the organic and the synthetic, the ancestral and the future. The exhibition invites you to listen, to feel, and to perceive the infinite harmonies of the world.
