FUNKEN Academy – re:sourcing
FUNKEN Academy – re:sourcing was a summer school on “Shaping fungi, DNA and metal powder through Art and Science” attended by 30 students. Through the summer school, the consortium partners aimed to trigger European knowledge transfer and cross-sector innovation, and collaborated with high-tech institutes to integrate new technologies with artistic trends in the context of an applied artistic course program.
Ars Electronica Platform Europe supports this education program invested in the development of new planetary narratives through material research by showcasing selected outcomes of the works developed in the context of the summer school at the Ars Electronica Festival 2024.
