IT IS TIME.
The files have been leaked. After months of secret cabal meetings and at least two suspicious group chats, we can finally reveal who's taking the stage at FREAKON 2026: The Invisible Hand. Some of them you know. Some of them you trust. All of them are FREAKS.

We will also have interactive art from BEN ÉE, DAVE HARMON, SHAUN BRIGHT, and we aren't kidding about the literal robot. The robot was constructed especially for this event by ALLY MCLEAN HENNESSY. It's probably safe.
This year there will be a bunch of art you can take home with you as a memento of an event that must otherwise stay redacted forever. That and you can buy merch without having to pay shipping.
AS ALWAYS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE UP THE SCHEDULE AT ALL TIMES AND MAINTAIN A CHAOTIC AND MILDLY DISTURBING VIBE,
IT'S FREE.
Don't forget that we'll be holding ANTI-NETWORKING DRINKS after too - you don't need to have a FREAKON ticket to come along!!! You are just not allowed to talk about work. We're dead serious. Don't do it.
