konS ≡ TALKS
Despite the widely embraced opinion that involving artists and creatives in innovation processes contributes to better results, very few research and development platforms are employing artists or art thinking in their innovation teams.
A discussion between producers of media arts involved in konS ≡ Platform will try to provide insights into the specific benefits of involving art thinking approaches that conceptually differ from the traditional contributions of creative industries. They will discuss the challenges for artists, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs stemming from essentially non-existing collaborative/open innovations.
Speakers: Gašper Beg (SI), Luka Frelih (SI), Miha Horvat (SI), Janez Janša (SI), Jurij Krpan (SI), Marko Peljhan (SI/US), Irena Pivka (SI), Marko Pritržnik (SI), Peter Purg (SI)
