The festival welcomed over 12,000 visitors across a 40-hectare site, featuring two major art spaces, additional recreational areas, and a total of eight stages.

For the main stage, together with UNIVERSE design and LedPulse, we presented the multimedia installation Line of Rupture. Fragmented screen blocks suspended overhead, light breaking through the structure’s cracks, volumetric imagery, and dynamic data streams transformed the stage into a space between the digital and physical worlds — a transitional point where familiar boundaries dissolve, and a line of rupture emerges.

The setup featured over 200 screens and approximately 40 volumetric elements arranged within a multi-level, fragmented structure. The setup featured over 200 screens and around 40 volumetric elements arranged within a multi-level, fragmented structure. Many of the elements were suspended at angles and assembled from modular units, with part of the lighting equipment concealed behind mesh LED screens, allowing light to pass through and create an internal glow and pulsing effect.

At the MAIN building, SILA SVETA, together with the PANTERRA art collective, presented the interactive installation Neuro Waterfall for Yandex Browser. Data-driven light streams passed through the open structure, while text and code on the panels formed a dynamic visual environment. Visitors could leave messages, which were processed by a neural editor in predefined styles and displayed as running text.

The festival’s art program was traditionally divided into two parts. The main section brought together works by invited international artists and studios. Headliners included the TUNDRA artist collective, Beijing-based media artist Gan Jian, Spanish artist Marc Vilanova, as well as LYM ART and SETUP studios.

The second part of the program was shaped through an open call across the categories Art, Performance, and Luminous. The jury included representatives of ARMA17 and OUTLINE, as well as SILA SVETA and SETUP. Out of 170 submissions, 34 finalists were selected, including international teams previously not represented in Russia.

The multimedia category of the open call, Luminous, focused on the use and exploration of light in the context of technological innovation. The category was curated by Ksenia Chekhovskaya, co-founder of the Intervals festival. Representatives of 404.zero, SILA SVETA, and media.tribe served on the jury and selected 10 winning projects, which were later realized at Outline.

Beyond large-scale installations, live multimedia performances and experimental shows became a key part of the Outline program. The audience experienced works by the program’s headliners, including Chinese media artist Gan Jian, the Russian collective TUNDRA, and FIRST CONTACT — a joint project by musician Nikita Zabelin and SILA SVETA. Presented as an audiovisual performance, the project used live modular synthesizer sound to control the visual layer. Based on documentary archives of extraterrestrial occultism and attempts to document contact with the unknown, sound and generative graphics responded to each other in real time. The sonic structure was built around modular techno with atonal drifting sequences and a dense drum-machine groove.

The festival’s multimedia program was further expanded through projection mapping on trees and the site’s architecture, including 360-degree building illumination integrated into Outline’s overall artistic environment.
