YLEM is turning 45!

This February 14th marks a significant milestone: the 45th anniversary of YLEM, the pioneering international organization for artists working at the intersection of science and technology.

To honor this legacy and our vibrant global community, we are delighted to host a special 12-hour online forum. This event is designed as a collective journey reflecting on our rich history, showcasing the groundbreaking work of today, and collaboratively envisioning the future.

Adding a unique dimension to this celebration, we will feature concurrent events bridging two dynamic world regions: the San Francisco Bay Area and China's Greater Bay Area.

We warmly invite you to be part of this cross-cultural, one-of-a-kind gathering. Your presence will enrich the dialogue as we celebrate 45 years of creativity and innovation.
