Contemporary perspectives on filmmaking and other time-based art forms from the last decades are linked with ikono video clip highlights featuring art from antiquity to modern classics. The ikono On Air Festival invites the audience to trace the perception of time within the arts, while the featured artworks challenge ideas of social space, everyday life and the possibilities of cultural communication.
