About KIKK
International festival of digital & creative cultures, exploring the crossovers between art, science & technology: creative coding, art, web & UX design, AI, data viz, storytelling, research, interactive experience, graphic & motion design, VR, XR
Founded in 2011, KIKK transforms and densifies space. Free-spirited and daring, KIKK stands between technological innovation and creativity, refreshing the foundations of a reinvented economy. On a daily basis, KIKK organizes events, stages exhibitions, supports the production of artistic works and participates in the emergence of new projects, which it then supports and promotes.
With an eye to the horizon and beyond, and a fierce tendency to cross-disciplinary clearing: the association is organic. It evolves, impetuous, according to the seasons, carried by winds and tides, that it never covers twice in the same way. Its aim: to mix fields, genres and generations, to question the multiple uses of new technologies, and in so doing, foreshadow the new challenges of a world on the move. Every year, KIKK organizes the eponymous international festival in Namur, which showcases digital practices in the broadest sense. For its 14th edition in 2025, the event attracted over 23,000 visitors (professionnels and the curious alike) from nearly 50 nationalities.
KIKK Festival gathers people of all backgrounds from all around the world. Designers, scientists, makers, entrepreneurs, artists, architects, developers and musicians. They come to tell you their personal anecdotes, to share professional experiences and innovative ideas, to present an artwork, a project or a product. You return home full of inspiration with plenty of contacts, new passions and possibilities.
