The aim is to exchange and communicate through common goals, questions and insights achieved while working with similar tools and technologies in various directions and environments. The discussion will follow the exchange of insights into their methods of acquiring knowledge, methods of creative expression, but also the critical points that we face on local and global scales that are being articulated into artistic research projects. Art’s multiple intelligences will be discussed, in contexts of realities and speculations, imagination and protocols from personal, intimate, to institutional scale.
The goal of this panel discussion is to create an intersection of the key concepts that these young artists/ researchers are driven by, in each city, in both local and global environment and context. This offers a chance to understand better what are the current and future aspirations, concerns, inspirations and problems to solve for the generation that is about to take the role of a protagonist in solving tomorrow’s challenges of our technoecologies.
