Symposium : Tools for Unknown Futures

Within the 3rd edition of BOZAR ELECTRONIC ARTS FESTVAL, the symposium "Art & Digital Technologies: Disruptive Innovation practices for an Unknown Future" is a professional gathering open to the public which explores increasingly close relationship between artistic practices, digital creation, technological innovation and research.

Collaborative initiatives, new practices, permeability between artistic and industrial spheres, and new avenues of financing are all issues that define the new cultural milieu. This symposium proposes to bring together creative experts, policy makers, technologists, artists, companies and researchers from various backgrounds to discuss these issues.
