Gogbot 2025 in Enschede: SCROLL PANIC REPEAT

Monday 4th August, 2025 - Bruce Sterling

GOGBOT presents

SCROLL PANIC REPEAT

18 – 21 September @ Enschede, NL

From Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 of September, GOGBOT returns to Enschede with a mind-bending journey into the chaotic rhythms of the digital age. With SCROLL PANIC REPEAT, we slice open the black mirror of your dopamine-parched brain, diving into infinite feeds, algorithmic anxiety, doomscrolling, media manipulation, and online fatigue.

For four days, Enschede’s Oude Markt will be transformed into Neo Enschede, a techno-dystopian city saturated with seductive brainrot reels, political propaganda, hyper-capitalist ads and slacktivist memes.

The chaos spreads across the Grote Kerk and eight other locations, where 60+ artists, musicians, hackers, freaks, and freethinkers will expose the systems keeping us scrolling – and maybe inspire you to break the loop. Expect glitchy dreams of freedom, hacked interfaces and media systems flipped upside down.

Show us those fingers and scroll through the most stimulating weekend of your life. You can go to your mindfulness class afterwards.

Breathe in, swipe out. Scroll. Panic. Repeat.
