In 2022, Neopop closed its 15th edition with a historic mark– the largest attendance ever at the Forte de Santiago da Barra.

This year the organization predicts another full house for its 16th edition which takes place on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August. Neopop takes place in Viana do Castelo and has a super solid electronic music program. It is a unique location that brings together the best of the region’s cultural, geographical, gastronomic and ethnographic heritage, with the support of the City Council, a key partner in the festival’s success.

今年,该组织预测在8月10日、11日和12日举行的第16届会议上将再次出现满座。Neopop在Viana do Castelo举行,有一个超级坚实的电子音乐节目。这是一个独特的地点,汇集了该地区最好的文化、地理、美食和民族学遗产,并得到了市议会的支持,是节日成功的关键合作伙伴。

Neoverse is the visual aesthetic campaign for Neopop Festival 2023. 

Following on the upcoming rise of attention to metaverse concepts, AI tools and the impact of technology in our everyday lives, we believe that this Festival embodies this urge to include enhanced digital experiences showcasing technology, humans and their interaction within these settings.

Neoverse is a fiction narrative that embodies the spirit of Neopop Festival and combines it with a digitally produced hyper reality. 

The video content for this media campaign is inspired by the combined audio and visual experience the festival delivers to its audience. A celebration of the human connection and the exaltation of electronic music and technology as a language in itself.

Neoverse是2023年Neopop Festival的视觉美学活动。

随着人们对元空间概念、人工智能工具和技术在我们日常生活中的影响的关注度即将上升,我们相信本届艺术节体现了这种冲动,包括加强数字体验,展示技术、人类和他们在这些环境中的互动。

Neoverse是一个虚构的叙事,体现了Neopop节的精神,并将其与数字制作的超现实相结合。

这个媒体活动的视频内容的灵感来自于该节日向观众提供的综合视听体验。这是对人类联系的庆祝,也是对电子音乐和技术本身作为一种语言的赞美。

VTSS对完全沉浸在狂欢文化中的承诺,使她迅速获得了一种耐人寻味的双重生活,这种生活分布在最潮湿的地下室和最大的节日舞台之间,在 “地下 “和吸引越来越多的追随者的能力之间,占据了一个具有挑战性甚至是挑衅性的空间,成为热情的新一波享乐主义、不计后果的电子乐热情的灯塔。
