This year's theme explores the paradox of our time: the growing desire to disconnect, the impossibility of ever truly logging off, and the inherent privilege of stepping offline. With 'Off the Internet,' DocLab turns to interactive and immersive art in search of new forms of presence and connection.

The "absurd and delicious world" of Humaneaty TV is featured at the 16th A.I.R Biennial (Jan 11-Feb 9). "Food, tech, and play collide to reimagine our digital souls."

The project is derived from 'EAT TECH KITCHEN' (IDFA DocLab 2018: www.idfa.nl/en/film/612a...), which brought the artists together.
