STARTS
Sustainable Futures & New Pathways to Innovation
Sustainable Futures & New Pathways to Innovation is an interactive online experience that explores three concrete challenges tackled by artists who have participated in S+T+ARTS across three thematic areas: Tangible Data, Sustainable Futures and Navigating the Digital Realm.
Meet the S+T+ARTS community
The Science+Technology+Arts = STARTS Initiative is a program of the European Commission that encourages synergies between the arts and technology that support the innovation industry and society. STARTS promotes the inclusion of artists in research and innovation activities throughout Europe. The STARTS community as well as interested artists and experts are warmly welcome to get together in this Networking Event.

The award ceremony is a chance to see all of this year's award-winning works and winners together.
An hour of violence
Domestic Data Streamers (INT/ES)
In this workshop the creative team at Domestic Data Streamers will walk you through 8 invisible contemporary violences that have a great impact in our everyday lives. The team will talk about the conceptual research behind the project, how they’ve turned such complex information into an interactive exhibition and will end up with a live collective debate on meaningful questions around the topic.
Art and (invisible) technology: A closer look at Soft Evidence and On View
Ania Catherine (US), Dejha Ti (US)
In both Soft Evidence (2021) and On View (2019), Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti incorporate advanced technologies into immersive works that appear to be non-digital—even though they are the opposite. In this talk, the duo dive into their approach to using technology both conceptually and technically in their practice.

Workplaces.ai
Zaha Hadid Architects (UK) Tyson Hosmer (UK)
An interactive application called Workplaces.ai has been developed by Zaha Hadid Architects’ ZH-Social Research Group as part of the Mindspaces STARTS project. The team focuses on the development of a new methodology for the comparative appraisal of the social functionality of design options, by investigating the social interaction processes to be expected in architectural environments via agent-based simulations with differentiated agent populations and autonomous decision processes.
