About FIBER

FIBER is a cultural organisation that operates at the intersection of digital art forms, audiovisual performances, electronic music and artistic research. The annual FIBER Festival is the multi-day event that takes place at several unique locations in Amsterdam. From artistic pioniers like Garage Noord and Door Open Space, theatres like the Brakke Grond to international institutions like the Muziekgebouw and Concertgebouw. 

Besides the festival editions, the foundation works on a lab and event programme, which functions as a presentation and research platform for makers in digital culture. In doing so, FIBER unlocks and catalyses the work of a new generation of makers, who make the workings and impact of digital technologies on culture, creative industry and our living environment visible and tangible.

We are looking for talented interns who would like to further grow in marketing & communication, with a focus on content creation, event support, documentation and social media. Can you bring our content to life via social media via written and audiovisual content? Do you like to write and are you interested in projects at the intersection of art, performance, technology and ecology? Are you capable of creating rich online content with a focus on video? Then we are looking forward to hearing from you!
