NEW NOW is the Festival for Digital Arts at Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage in Essen. Every two years, it transforms the Mixing Plant on the former Coking Plant on the coal mine industrial complex into a production site for Digital Arts. NEW NOW invites artists to show new works in spectacular surroundings and to produce site-specific works.

Robot dogs are entering industries around the world, walking and patrolling areas deemed not appropriate for Humans, it’s not long before fleets of dogs will be deemed obsolete and find themselves aimlessly roaming around abandoned spaces. These fleets will become packs, spare packs of wild robot dogs, with the occasional Human intruding on their territories.
