Partnered with Fest Anča, this mini conference about arts, design, science, and technology opens the New Sensibility theme – the new post-digital era sense. Technologies have changed our lives in as yet unknown ways. We experience numerous digital era symptoms firsthand with no prior warning. The effects of digitalisation and eventually even technocracy are far removed from our former visions (if such we indeed dared to have). Can we really change our relationship to technology, ourselves, and our environment…given that we’re merely passive observers in a mysterious world? How can we raise awareness and build trust in our digital future?
Technology itself can be a creative part of visual artistic work or simply a tool in its production. Introducing OUCHHH – our new media studio guest whose interdisciplinary expertise merges the boundaries between architecture, art, science, technology, new media art, and AI. And from the domestic scene, we have Ivana Palečková who as an illustrator and creator of photographic publications has created numerous successful identities for new companies and projects – including Fest Anča’s 2018 fabulous visage!
