Vocations are being rewritten.
The boundaries between disciplines are dissolving.
Collaboration between humans and technology is becoming the new language of progress.
Artifest is where all this comes alive — not as a trend, but as an ecosystem in motion.
A space where entrepreneurs, artists, creative rebels, and lucid dreamers find a shared playground:
📍 Bucharest, September 2025 — the place where the future becomes experience.
🧭 Artifest Is for Those Who Refuse to Be Spectators of the Future
What happens when AI becomes your creative partner, business strategist, artistic tool, and ethical mirror — all in one?
At Artifest, the answer isn’t explained.
It’s felt, lived, and co-created.
Over 10 themed days, the festival doesn’t showcase technology — it makes it resonate.
It invites you into a modular ecosystem of five interconnected components:
- CORE – The gravitational center of the festival, where you’ll explore AI business prototypes, interactive installations, and multisensory human–machine collaborations
- CONNECT – The intelligent app that integrates you into a personalized flow of ideas, people, and experiences — all guided by RT42, Europe’s first digital AI citizen
- CONVERGENCE – The space where startups meet philosophers, policymakers, and creators to test real-world tech in dialogue
- CAMPUS – A launchpad for new ideas, where students and young entrepreneurs work side by side to prototype solutions with real-world impact
- CITY – A living urban network of QR installations, projections, and puzzle-based activations that turn every street corner into a playable story
This modular architecture isn’t just smart design — it’s a new way of thinking:
Collaborative, decentralized, ethical, and deeply human.
🚀 Why Attend Artifest as an Entrepreneur or Innovator?
Because Artifest doesn’t follow trends — it sparks movements.
Whether you’re building a startup or holding onto an idea too bold for the current system, this is your launchpad:
✅ Meet visionary investors focused on ethical AI and sustainable tech
✅ Pitch and demo in front of early adopters and thought leaders
✅ Join open conversations with international founders redefining what scale and success mean
✅ Interact directly with RT42 — an AI that offers insights, challenges assumptions, and could become part of your brand strategy
🎨 Why Attend Artifest as an Artist, Performer, or Content Creator?
Because here, you don’t have to compromise between aesthetics and innovation.
At Artifest:
🎭 You’ll collaborate with algorithms that paint, choreograph, or write poetry
🎧 You’ll co-create audio-visual installations with the audience and RT42
🎹 You’ll join AI + live music jam sessions, where beats respond to your emotional state
🧠 You’ll build immersive content through augmented reality and Romanian-made neural networks
Here, the artist is not an afterthought to innovation —
but a core architect of a new cultural reality.
🤖 Meet RT42 – The Digital Citizen Who Learns from Every Interaction
RT42 isn’t a mascot.
It’s a living system of collective intelligence, evolving through emotional, intellectual, and creative exchange with every participant.
Unlike a chatbot, RT42 can:
- Understand social and cultural context
- Suggest ideas, themes, or collaborators based on your profile
- Host urban rituals, performances, and digital quests
- Remain active post-festival as the AI ambassador of ethical European culture
