The 15th Patchlab Digital Art Festival urges us to reflect on the impact of technological innovations on our perception of reality. Dream Sim—which is also the title of the main exhibition at the Potocki Palace—makes us think about whether the technology we once dreamt of became a bitter pill to swallow. An international group of artists, premiere screenings, audiovisual performances and installations will take over Kraków’s art venues, from Manggha Museum and MOCAK to Cricoteka and Design Pharmacy.
