In the Ether returns for its third edition, and this year’s theme, “sanctuary technologies,” is less about hiding from tech than about using it to give people more choice and a bit more say in how things work. The festival mixes art, installations, talks, and workshops which cover everything from the tech we already live with to research-driven projects and open-source microchips. Keep an eye out for Mimus, a giant robot arm built from repurposed factory machinery by roboticist-artist Dr Madeline Gannon. It can’t actually see you, but it knows you’re there, and if it takes a liking to you, it might lean in for a closer look. There are also hands-on workshops where you can make your own microchip, put together a small digital archive, or get a peek at how modern AI really works.

Somewhere between the 4th and 14th centuries, a bunch of monks, merchants, and wandering pilgrims turned the city of Dunhuang into one of the great crossroads of the ancient world. This history was carved into the walls of the Mogao Caves to preserve a record of life in the city. The Asian Civilisations Museum is bringing that history home in a way it never has before: life-size cave reconstructions, centuries-old paintings and sculpture, plus manuscripts and textiles that trace how goods and ideas moved along the Silk Road.
