ARTCADE – A groundbreaking interactive exhibition in Brussels about the evolution of technology, gaming & AI

ARTCADE is an interactive exhibition in Brussels that dives into the evolution of technology, gaming and artificial intelligence.

It invites you to explore our relationship with technology, from its earliest beginnings to the possibilities of the future. Across nine thematic zones, you will journey through retro gaming, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and digital art.
This is not a traditional exhibition. You touch. You play. You question. Your phone becomes a key to discovery: scan codes, interact with installations and unlock hidden layers through the dedicated app. Created for curious minds of all ages, ARTCADE offers complete immersion in a world where machines can create, think and sometimes move beyond our control.
Step inside ARTCADE. Your experience begins now.
