Happy New Year — Into the New Human
By ARTEX Artist
Wishing a year of exploration, hacking the future(s) together. Calligraphy by Nora Happy New Year from all of us at [CODAME](/orgs/codame) ✨ As we step into 2026 , we extend our deepest gratitude and curiosity to every artist, maker, mentor, collaborator, and explorer who shapes this global community. In the [CODAME ART+TECH](/orgs/codame/events/codame-arttech-c1a) universe, a new year is more than a date — it is a creative threshold . A moment to pause, to begin again, and to imagine what’s possible. We enter this year guided by intention: choosing inquiry over answers , experimentation over certainty , and community over isolation . We believe the future is not something we wait for — it is something we actively practice, together. CODAME is artist-driven, practice-centered, and collectively imagined. In 2026 , CODAME returns with its most expansive and participatory Festival yet. Centered around the theme The New Human , this edition explores how bodies, minds, cultures, technologies, and communities merge into new, hybrid possibilities . The New Human is not a fixed definition — it is a living inquiry. A way of asking how the future is shaped not by machines alone, but by the entangled traces of humanity itself: memory, language, biology, emotion, and code. Creative Hackathon (March 6–7, 2026 · Milan) A focused, collaborative moment where artists and technologists prototype, experiment, and unlock imaginative directions around The New Human . Milano Art Week & Milano Design Week (April 13–26, 2026) Hackathon outcomes evolve into public experiences — exhibitions, performances, rituals, and conversations that blur disciplines and invite wonder.
