Art & Tech Conference

We will discover the topic of Augmented Humanity from different perspectives. This conference is a unique opportunity to explore how technology, art and design can enhance our human potential and creativity.

We will dive into the augmented worlds, where we will see how immersive and interactive experiences can transform our perception of reality and ourselves. We will talk about psychology, art and design, where we will learn how to use storytelling, empathy and aesthetics to create meaningful and engaging content. We will explore AI and collective intelligence, where we will examine how algorithms, data and networks can empower our collaboration and innovation.

We have invited top speakers from various fields and backgrounds, who will share their insights, projects and visions with us. They are experts in creating cutting-edge solutions in technology, art and design and they are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
