Event Description

OFF LABEL is an exploration of experimental thinking, seen through the triple lenses of art, technology and spirituality. The festival’s name is derived from a medical practice in which pharmaceuticals are prescribed for illicit use, breaking with approved standards of medication in order to engage new—if sometimes contested—possibilities for treatment. The festival takes up the term and its variations—in ways both literal and allegorical—to examine the possibilities, politics and variations of meaning in a technologically enabled, artistically motivated and ideologically-invested world.
