You renovate? We host. Together with artist/coder Kasper Jordaens, Design Museum Gent is developing creative code that converts our collection data into images during a unique algorave on Museum Night. In short: a party where both the music and the visualisation of our collection are coded live by different ‘algoravers’! For this project Lost in diffusion, we are collaborating with the Wintercircus, home to more than 38 tech start-ups, who, like the museum, want to shape the future together.

The programme:

18:00-01:00: Be the first to catch a glimpse of the Design Museum's new permanent collection. Lost in diffusion — a project by artist and coder Kasper Jordaens —is an attempt to better understand the role of algorithms and AI models in relation to a museum collection. Commissioned by Design Museum Gent, he developed a creative code that converts the collection data into images during a unique algorave.

18:00-21:00: Wintercircus offers an exclusive tour of its startup campus and collective spaces and network. In the upper floors of the campus, they showcase the 38 startups shaping the future.

21:00-23:00: The Wintercircus' arena and exhibition space will be transformed into an algorave, richly decorated with live visuals based on data and images from our collection.
