Bleep Artists 2025

Bleep Introduction

“CIRCUIT-CONTROL” is the festival for the creative use of soldering irons. In recent years, the idea has evolved into a multimedia happening with international participants. In addition to music, art and programming, the focus is still on sharing knowledge and DIY culture. The festival also offers a networking platform for the international maker scene.

In cooperation with various initiatives, institutions and spaces in Dresden, many interesting projects will hopefully be created, as we will have the opportunity to use 3D printers, laser cutters and etching equipment.

The participants of “CIRCUIT-CONTROL” come from Germany, Austria, England, Holland, Spain, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. They include artists, musicians, programmers, engineers and, above all, lots of free spirits.

The “CIRCUIT-CONTROL” festival always promises to be an exciting week…come along if you are there!!!

Partners and Support:

The festival is held in cooperation with Konglomerat e.V., the Lacking Sound Festival (Taiwan), and the
OUTSIDEININSIDEOUTINSIDEOUTOUTSIDEIN collective (CZ).

With the kind support of the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony, the Office for Culture and Monument Protection, the Klippel Foundation, the Wau-Holland Foundation, and the Media Art Network.

Organizer:

Metaknoten e.V. – A network collective of international artists, musicians, programmers, engineers, organizers and free spirits founded in Dresden in 2021.
