Ars Electronica Strategies
A Kitchen Talk
hosq is hosting an informal event with Ars Electronica to explore how art, science, and technology can collaborate across disciplines. The gathering brings together the artXscienceXtech community for an open exchange of ideas.
Since 1979, Ars Electronica has been guided by the interplay of art, technology, and society — three pillars that continue to shape its vision. The evening begins with a glimpse into the organization’s journey, exploring how it has grown into the entangled ecosystem it is today. From there, we turn to the heart of creative practice: what inspires us, what drives us forward, and how artworks today engage with the urgent questions of our world.
The focus is not just on presentation, it’s on conversation. There will be ample time for questions, reflections, and the kind of discussions that spark new ideas and connections.
The evening is moderated by Shoghakat Mlke-Galstyan, with a presentation by Laura Welzenbach (Head of Ars Electronica Export).
Join us for an evening of inspiration, exchange, and the shared joy of creative exploration.
