Art, science and society in the Digitocene Era.

Art, science and society in the Digitocene Era 

Whether a symbiosis of science and art is possible is still a highly debated topic. Discussion participants will talk about the role of technology in contemporary art. Is non-digital art possible today? What role do creativity and art play in modern science?

Digitocene is an era we are living through, and yet it will never come. It’s an era where we can no longer separate the digital and the non-digital.
