The Impakt Festival 2016: What does the term authenticity mean in 2016? For a long time, the artist embodied everything that was authentic. But this Romantic ideal is now a fast-fading, distant shadow. Authenticity has become a product sold to us by the lifestyle industry; marketeers make clever use of our hunger for individuality. At the same time, the term authenticity seems to dissolve when it comes to images and art objects. We live in a culture in which quoting, paraphrasing and re-using are standard practice. Sometimes, it doesn’t even really matter what the original was anymore.

The Impakt Festival 2015: The Future of the Past (in a World Well Documented) will offer reflections and new ideas on the future of ‘history’ and on the future of the ‘future’, including existing and new notions of ‘memory’, the ‘past’, ‘recollection’, ‘prediction’ and ‘free will’, in the framework of the almost unlimited data recording and storage capacities that are (being) developed in the world today.
