Meet eight artists over two days, and explore new digital mediums and ways of collaborating from May 26–27.

Beyond 2020: A (Post-) Pandemic Festival gathers Swiss artists and designers who responded to Swissnex in San Francisco’s artist call Beyond 2020: A (Post-) Pandemic Project.

Learn how their artistic processes adapted to the pandemic and see how they responded by producing videos, websites, blogs, performances and digital interventions. As the world begins to re-open with the optimism of vaccinations, join us for the Beyond 2020: A (Post-) Pandemic Festival to learn how their practices have changed, and to hear about their learnings as we move to a hybrid in-person and digital world.

The artists selected for this project responded to the call for participation with exhibition proposals for Swiss-US artist exchanges in various digital formats from sound installations, to research blogs, and social media applications. The artists spent over six months working from homes and studios around the globe from Switzerland (Bern, Zurich, Lausanne and Geneva); Portland in Oregon, Providence in Rhode Island, San Francisco, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam and beyond.
