HEAD – Genève, Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design hosted the ArtTech Forum from 11th to 12th October 2018 and contributed by enlarging the program.
For its second edition, in conferences and round tables at which high-level international figures spoke, the 2018 ArtTech Forum aimed to bring together an international community of researchers, engineers and scientists, representatives from the sphere of culture and economy .
More than 30 speakers took part in the ArtTech Forum.
The 2018 program demonstrated how and why technology companies – start-ups or large groups – invest in cultural and artistic heritage projects, where the technological innovation is and where it’s heading. From projects presented by major museums or heritage sites to those showing the increasingly close links between culture and entertainment, or new relationships that the art market has fostered with technology, this annual meeting is above all the opportunity for speakers and participants to create links that will allow the development of innovative projects.
8 start-ups were invited to pitch and compete for the ArtTech Award wonn by NoMadMusic.
A special event was organized on the evening of 11th October at Campus Biotech, Geneva. Prof. Henry Markram gave a remarkable lecture on the beauty of the brain.
