SIMULTAN FESTIVAL XX / RE:MEDIATE
1–12 OCTOBER 2025, Timișoara
Comenduirea Garnizoanei / Cinema Studio / Csiky Gergely Hungarian State Theatre
The 20th edition of the SIMULTAN Festival will take place between 1–6 October 2025 (with an extended exhibition programme open until 12 October), across multiple venues in Timișoara. The festival continues its exploration of the relationship between art, technology, and society through diverse artistic practices and methods.
The adoption of the transitive term RE:MEDIATE for this year’s edition is not intended as a celebratory gesture, but rather as a call for initiative and a moment of reflection on the path the festival has taken over the past two decades.
Remediation, as defined by Bolter and Grusin, refers to the evolutionary process of new media adapting and transforming older media forms, creating a dynamic progression within the media landscape. Extending this logic beyond visual aesthetics leads to a fundamental question:
What can we, in fact, remediate today?
