Beijing Art and Technology Biennale (BATB) is the world’s first biennial dedicated to the intersection of art, science and technology, which aims to be an international platform for a broad range of practitioners from the fields of art, science and technology, and to support new artistic engagements and interventions in the context of advanced technologies, such as emerging biotechnologies, life sciences, astrobiology, etc. BATB manifests through exhibitions, commissions, public programmes, publications, and symposiums, as well as structural and systemic initiatives, bringing together practitioners from the fields of art, science, and climatology, among many others. 

Since its inception, BATB has become one of the most thought-provoking art events, and played an indispensable role in China’s engagement with the world. Directed by curator Naiyi Wang, each edition brings together the most influential artists, scientists, theorists, curators, activists, technologists, developers and entrepreneurs from all over the world. It is founded with the mission of exploring new ideas in art, science and technology. Through interdisciplinary connections, BATB aims to address the central questions of our future, and create long-lasting effects on our society.
