Međunarodni festival Touch Me prezentira suvremenu umjetničku produkciju na sjecištu znanosti i tehnologije, a uključuje izložbu, performanse i simpozij objedinjene temom Zloupotrebe inteligencije. Taj je tematski okvir proizašao iz potrebe umjetničke i kulturalne analize suvremenih oblika nasilja i sustava kontrole. Polazeći od dvojakog značenja pojma "intelligence" u engleskom jeziku (informacije, inteligencija) projekt se bavi zloupotrebom informacija i inteligencije, ali i oblicima strukturne zloupotrebe koje omogućuje tehnološka organizacija suvremenih društvenih procesa, a vezani su uz informacije, telekomunikacije, medije, tehnologiju, znanost, industriju zabave itd. Uz etičke i političke probleme info-sfere, festival preispituje zloupotrebu i manipulaciju znanstveno-tehnološkim spoznajama koje narušavaju, mijenjaju ili kreiraju živi svijet i okoliš.

The international festival Touch Me presents contemporary art production at the intersection of science and technology. Including an exhibition, performances and a symposium, it will tackle the topic of Abuse of Intelligence. This thematic framework arises from the need for artistic and cultural analysis of contemporary forms of violence and systems of control. Starting from the twofold meaning of "intelligence" (implying both information and intellection), the project explores the abuse of information and intelligence, but also the forms of structural abuse brought about by the technological organization of contemporary social processes - abuses relating to information, telecommunications, media, technology, science, the entertainment industry, etc. Alongside the ethical and political problems of the info-sphere, the festival explores the abuse and manipulation of techno-scientific discoveries that disrupt, transform or create the living world and environment.
