Networking event hosted by Kristina Maurer (AT), Senior Producer European Cooperation
with Robertina Šebjanič (SI), Gjino Šutić (HR), Ingeborg Reichle (DE), Michael Sauer (AT)
When artists, scientists and scientific research institutions join forces on collaborative projects, the collision of methods often leads to new and exciting perspectives for both the artistic and scientific practice. Join this STARTS networking event where artists Robertina Šebjanič and Gjino Šutić, media theorist Ingeborg Reichle and scientist Michael Sauer discuss their experiences in working across disciplines. This event provides an open space for discussion and Q+A with the four expert participants as well as sharing insights from your own practice and projects.
The workshop is held via Zoom. Password-protected links for participation in the workshop will be sent to all participants by e-mail at least 2 days before the workshop.
