About

Artists, entrepreneurs, and scientists are driven by exploration, imagination, and questions. Whether in art, technology, and science, the thinking process of defying the norms and reality is required.

In this event, speakers from the world of art, science, and entrepreneurship will present questions about technology, collaborations, and intersections of disciplines. Why do artists establish an AI lab? How can science benefit from working with artists? And what are potential avenues to foster transdisciplinary collaborations? These are some of the questions that will be discussed.
