Forward Magazine “DigitalEyes” – COLLECTORS PIECE

Issue No. 3 of the Forward Magazine of the Forward Festival 2020

At first, we chose this shiny cover for DIGITAL EYES simply because we thought it looked nice. It reminded us of a mirror and we are vain. After all, our eyes are glued to mirrors all day. We keep them in our pockets, we talk to them, we touch them.
Yet, we no longer want to scratch the surface of these black mirrors, we want to see what’s underneath, we want to go the core of new technologies and their use for us.
When we decided on our digital focus for this year’s festival, we did so because it is a topic that cannot be ignored. Just as much as we cannot ignore our senses–our human need to not only see but also hear, touch, smell and taste.
So this year, let’s not be intimidated by emerging technologies but interested in exploring them together. This time, let’s have it all: the digital, the analog, the information, the experience.

Including interviews with Oliviero Toscani, Jessica Walsh, Anton & Irene, Malika Favre and much more!
