PLATINE festival focuses on electronic media, covering the realm from art statements up to alternative gaming forms. Developers and artists from all over Germany, as well as guests from six other countries, use PLATINE as a daring and unique platform to present their ideas and visions to the public.

PLATINE takes place in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, in traditional local pubs, theatrical workshops, and small galleries. PLATINE strives to be a source of inspiration – and invites you to excitement, discoveries, and interaction within an urban environment. Wishing you a delightful time reading the following pages. Hopefully we can make you feel the magic of PLATINE. See you in August!

Electronic gear is a constantly present and integral part of our everyday life. It bears significant impact on society and the individual. Very often we only notice the final product. Behind its appeal as a dazzling mass phenomenon, the actual processes of field work, experiments, and development become invisible.

Exhibitors

In the broadest sense they are developers. They de-velop the solid structures of a world, generated by pixels, numbers and algorithms and passionately play with technology. Some of them modify the manufacturer’s thought purposes of applications, alter game consoles or software. Or they intersect virtual realities and real life. Some of them show art to participate, trial and touch. So they all create sensory input, innovative worlds of perception and futuristic prototypes within a technologic driven evolution.
