In an ever-changing media landscape, constantly moving and dynamic, Playgrounds is also always In Motion. Even more so when chasing the newest creative trends, mind-boggling artists, ambitious innovative projects and unearthed inspiration emerged from digital arts in all shapes and forms. That is: Playgrounds In Motion. A traveling festival, focusing on different themes in every new location.

The first In Motion festival was set in the heart of European animation and media production: London. Hosted in Outernet District, In Motion London focussed on animation & motion design, showcasing the latest developments in this genre and, of course, some industry legends in this field.

Following the British adventure, in October 2023 we set up camp in the incredible Maassilo in Rotterdam. Playgrounds brought a catwalk of all liquid, trending and new visual culture, in one of the most forward looking and constantly reinventing itself cities in the Netherlands!

Last In Motion pit stop in 2023 happened in Breda during Game Week. In November 2023 Playgrounds hosted and In Motion special – a conference about the art of game, where we deep-dived into the art of world building and design for games.

In 2024 we are once again getting ready to swipe you off your feet! We are returning to London but in a NEW location! Hosted in the impressive Barbican Centre, trade-mark for Brutalist architecture, we can’t wait to engulf in the latest animation trends, innovative art works and exciting technologies.

As far as Rotterdam is concerned, we’ll set up camp again in Maassilo! But we are preparing to take things even further! Think trailblazing artists, forward-thinkers, boundaries-pushers, media-benders.

All the things that stimulate your artistry and INSPIRE!
