DEMO2024 is a multi-day festival and gathering for people at the leading edge of art, culture, and technology. Anchored by the work of NEW INC'S Year 10 Members, the festival gathers national and international thought leaders for a series of demos, exhibitions, and broadcasts giving shape to the next generation of creative leaders.
DEMO2024 will run from June 5-7, 2024. Track showcases will be on view from June 5-20, 2024.
DEMO2024 will be hosted by WSA and Water Street Projects located at 161 Water Street, New York, NY, 10038. WSA is the home of creative businesses including Office Magazine, Bode, and LUAR in Manhattan's South Street Seaport.
We're releasing the first round of tickets on April 23 and plan to release a second round of tickets in mid-May. If you didn't snag a ticket in the first round, no sweat! Please sign up for our mailing list to receive early notification when additional tickets become available.
Our NEW INC member cohort consists of 5 unique Tracks or focus areas guided by a Mentor-in-Residence: Art & Code, Cooperative Studies, Creative Science, Social Architecture, and XR (Extended Realities).
Track Talks are 5-7 minute stage presentations where members share their individual projects followed by a group conversation moderated by the Track Mentor-in-Residence.
Track Showcases are group exhibitions demonstrating the Trackâs guiding questions organized by guest curators and producers. Track Showcases stay up longer than the core festival days and will run through June 20th.
You can visit our Track Showcases Wednesday through Sunday, 11am-7pm at WSA, 161 Water Street, New York, NY 10038
