The program brought together perspectives from architecture, design, film, gaming, fashion, music and the visual arts. The event opened on 20 May with an (Un)Conference at Funkhaus Vienna, exploring how creatives can reshape cultural and digital infrastructures. Provocations by Nadia Piet (AIxDESIGN), Calum Bowden (trust) and Christie Morgan (SOFTER) addressed alternative practices, collaborative systems and new models for digital futures. The Content Vienna screenings of Total View and Merve Sahin presented. The opening Keynote by Shumon Basar and talk by Günseli Yalcinkaya were accompanied by the interactive installation by NODE Media Lab, a performance of Cat Jiménez curated by NeverAtHome. 

The second day centered on workshops and exchange formats led by Paloma Oliveira with Kristina Maurer, Ramon Reichert by NeverAtHome, Marlène Delrive and Georg Russegger by SUBOTRON, Bika Rebek, and Klimentina Milenova and Brooklyn J. Pakathi (AREA[404]). These sessions addressed topics such as new forms of collaboration, digital infrastructures and evolving creative economies. The program also included a dedicated tour presenting Biofabrique Vienna alongside selected Creatives for Vienna projects, showcasing perspectives on current initiatives and spatial practices across the city.

Creative Days Vienna 2026 demonstrated how digital technologies not only influence artistic production and distribution, but also open up new possibilities for collaboration, participation and cultural infrastructures.
