A DELA ? Is it working?

Website
Ljubljana | Slovenia
24-28 August, 2020

From 24 to 28 August 2020 at several locations around Ljubljana, the international festival of art, science and technology “Is it working?” presented the latest productions of Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory and its partner institutions within the European Art Science Technology Network for Digital Creativity (EASTN-DC).

The EASTN-DC network strives towards interdisciplinary interpretations of new shifts in the digital paradigm in order to prepare society for the challenges of the future in which digital technologies will enter all aspects of human cognition, perception and activity. The collaborating transdisciplinary authors from Slovenia and abroad addressed – through diverse artistic and research approaches – advanced models of interactivity, multimodality, responsiveness and audience experience. Various formats – from exhibitions, performances, concerts, to presentations, workshops, and an audio walk – enabled visitors, through their active participation, a closer understanding of contemporary research, experiments and artistic methods in the fields of light, audio, interface, kinetic, location and perception technologies.
