Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition seeks points of contact between people, technology, and nature.

The production budget for the project is up to 5000€. The artists’ travel budget is limited to 350€ per person within Europe and up to 700€ for artists traveling outside the EU. Accommodation will be provided by the organiser.
