Character Gathering in 3-2-1...




See the signs, hear the calling:

The 13th PICTOPLASMA BERLIN FESTIVAL is summoning all global character disciples for a unique ceremony of today's most empathic visual treats!

11-13 May
PICTOPLASMA CONFERENCE
BABYLON and ACUD MACHT NEU

Artist lectures, presentations, workshops, character VR saloon, talent forum...

By now tickets for the main Conference are nearing extinction. Should you still plan to join the full-on character cult, now's the time to act! Once online registration is no longer an option, we'll try to hold back a small amount of conference passes for all those of you showing up on May 11, from 10:00 onward, at BABYLON.

For all others, there are plenty of risk free and wallet friendly occasions to casually dip in and out of this year's character offerings...
