5. The artists featured at the festival invite the public to contemplate the future of nature, not just as a physical environment but as a dynamic force that shapes our habits, lifestyles, and modes of entertainment.

6. During the festival, digital works by artists and independent studios from Romania will also be presented, as well as a special section made in partnership with UNATC, dedicated to students and graduates of the ITPMA master’s program, which celebrates its 7^th anniversary in 2024. These artists have been constantly present at the RADAR festival since the first edition, contributing to its growth and diversification. 

7. From 7 PM to 10 PM each day, the festival will host a live audiovisual performance stage – AV Stage -, combining music with projections, allowing participants to enjoy incredible sound and visual shows created by some of the most creative national and international minds in this artistic field. This section is curated by Dilmana Yordanova and co-financed by AFCN.

10. Table Sonore, one of the installations from the Kids area, invites participants to create a musical score on an interactive sound table. As the children rearrange the blocks on the giant musical staff, a new collective harmony is created, with the melody changing in real time as the blocks move.
