do {not} touch
This year, IDFA DocLab and IDFA on Stage present do {not} touch, a special program that explores how artists across disciplines disrupt physical boundaries and challenge digital technology to seek out new forms of documentary art and human connection.
The program took place physically in Amsterdam as well as across various online platforms. Experiences ranged from online projects for your phone and live performances in virtual reality to interactive outdoor experiences, multi-sensory installations, planetarium screenings, and a radical attempt at climate-neutral theater.
do {not} touch is divided into three pillars: an exhibition, an immersive XR program, and a live performance program.
