Back for its second year, Fleuron is an online festival at the overlap of design, art, creativity, technological tinkering, and the natural world. Fleuron takes place over three days online, with six months of replay access for all ticket-holders.
The talks are meant to ignite spark, with presenters across a range of media speaking back-to-back, delving both into the technical and philosophical underpinnings of the works.
And… this year only, all ticket-buyers will get access to both the line-up below, and the 2025 archives, so if you missed out on last year, register asap!
