Christensen and helmed by Tribeca’s Craig Hatkoff, The Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards (TDIA) celebrates those whose ideas have broken the mold to create significant impact. Christensen’s original Disruptive Innovation Theory explained how simpler, cheaper technologies, products, and services could decimate industry leaders. TDIA showcases applications of disruptive innovation which has spread far beyond the original technological and industrial realms into the fields of healthcare, education, international development, politics and advocacy, media, the arts and entertainment.

Entitled “Invisible Territories”, this year's festival confronts us with multiple scale values and is based on a two- Summary pronged approach - the first, literal approach proposing a stroll around the new creative spaces opened up by the infinitely small; and the second, metaphorical approach dealing in particular with the idea of spatial, temporal, compression or reduction, whether this be cinematographic, photographic or poetic. Scenic installations / page 2 to 6 By means of films, videos, sculptures, multimedia installations and photographs, the @rt Outsiders Festival Nanofictions at the CUBE / page 7 has chosen to highlight the many platforms used by artists to express themselves. These are works that overturn our points of reference. Biographical details and trends / page 8 to 11 A team of guides is on hand throughout the festival to discuss the works on show with the public.
