“Having the festival back in Berlin for multiple days, but also staying hybrid lead to around 30 entries of interactive theater, performances as well as wild hardware controllers and installations - It’s great to see them returning and I’m excited that we don’t have boundaries in their showcase onsite and/or online in the A MAZE./ SPACE, which is 3 years in the making.” - Mat, Award Coordinator
