The NEW NOW Festival is Europe's newest festival for digital art. Every two years it transforms the mixing plant of the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein into a production site for digital art.
The second edition of NEW NOW Festival took place from 1. June - 5. August 2023 in Essen, Germany. NEW NOW Festival is a project by Stiftung Zollverein, funded by the Ministry of Art and Science of North-Rhine Westphalia.

From coke to contemporary art: NEW NOW takes place at the Mixing Plant of the Zollverein Coking Plant – UNESCO World Heritage and an icon of industrial culture. Today, Zollverein mines ideas instead of coal and NEW NOW transforms the site into a production venue for Digital Arts. Concrete bunkers and huge coal containers provide spectacular spatial situations and an extraordinary festival atmosphere amid genuine industrial architecture.
Pioneering contemporary artists develop new works addressing issues of our times and participants witness art in the making. The industrial world heritage Zollverein will be transformed into an open production venue for Digital Arts.
