Art & Science Conference

Taking place on the 8 November at our Science & Culture FORUM in Holzmarkt, the conference will bring together professionals working at the intersection of art and science to connect, debate and collaborate.

The Art & Science conference offers a dynamic programme of development and networking opportunities, alongside live workshops, talks and performances that embody the synergy of art and science.  

Begin the day with Forecast Condensed: Coding the Human — We have Become Tools in the Hands of our Tools, where trailblazing practitioners will have the opportunity to pitch art science projects to established creative mentors for feedback and development support. We are inviting interdisciplinary practitioners who are interested in pitching to the esteemed panel, to submit an expression of interest to the Call for Participation from 26 Sep - 13 Oct. 

Following a networking lunch, you are then invited to join the afternoon conference session Exploring New Opportunities for Art, Science, and Technology Collaborations to investigate new opportunities for art, science, and technology collaborations. A series of talks will explore frameworks to integrate art and creativity with scientific research and technological development, with speakers from the S+T+ARTS initiative of the European Commission, the KIC EIT Culture and Creativity projects, the Ars Electronica Festival and beyond. By bringing together cultural leaders and innovators from the tech and industrial spheres, the session aims to spark new ideas and create partnerships that can transform these fields. 

To round off the day, we invite you to grab a drink and enjoy an eclectic programme of live workshops and talks that embody the synergy between science and art. These events are an opportunity to take inspiration, discover innovative practitioners and experience ambitious, interdisciplinary approaches to collaboration.
