Since 2012, B3 Biennale of the Moving Image has been stimulating cross-genre discourse on trends and developments in film, art, games, VR/AR and AI.
Initially held every two years, the B3 welcomes national and international artists and media professionals annually since 2019. Controversial and diverse, creative artists are speaking at the B3 conference and present their works in screenings and exhibitions. The focus is on storytelling.
Every year, the invitees of B3 provide an insight and outlook on the ways in which ideas and stories can be creatively developed in terms of content and technology. In their work they process their content in the most diverse ways – politically, socially critical, philosophically or humorously.
This year, we are once again looking forward to our invitees giving our audience the opportunity to share their stories, their worlds of thought and their creativity. We look forward to their works, their know-how, their views and to inspiring conversations and impulses.
Focus Transformation
In 2022 we will focus on TRANSFORMATION. In talks, artworks and films, our invitees will highlight what transformation means to them in the most diverse ways: scientifically, politically, culturally, philosophically and very personally.

„I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I, see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony — Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?“
The staff of B3 remembers the victims and those affected by the war in Ukraine and all victims of any war in the world. We wish nothing more than a peaceful coexistence regardless of all borders.

Fungal Datascapes: A Sporous Commons of Mushrooms and Climate
The 360-degree film Fungal Datascapes by Rut Karin Zettergren, Finn Arschavir and Jens Evaldsson invites us to leave our anthropocentric viewpoint and enter a world normally beyond our scope of understanding. The viewer moves through the life cycle of fungal spores: from microscopic to global scale.
In an innovative way, this artwork opens up new artistic and intellectual perspectives. What does the weather feel like underground? How would we experience it as fungi? What are the connections between our world and the world of fungi? We rarely think about the relationship between fungi and our climate. Yet the life, compost, and decay of fungi are interwoven with the emergence of weather and climate change.
