Soft Borders is the 4th Upgrade! International Network Conference and Festival; previous editions of the conference happened in New York (USA), Oklahoma City (USA) and Skopje (Macedonia). The conference will gather artists, curators and researchers from 30 countries to present and discuss the field of new media art, in the international and local contexts, especially in Brazil, the country that is hosting the present edition of the event.

The new media festival that is also part of the Soft Borders event will present artworks selected by three curators — Silvia Laurentiz (Brazil), Basak Senova (Turkey), and Elena Veljanovska (Macedonia).

The Soft Borders theme that drives either the conference and the art festival, aim to discuss the borders disolutions between the many fields of the knowledge and life, the contamination of the one another, particularly regarding the relationship between art-science-technology.
