We have just wrapped up an exceptional three days at the AVARA Art&Tech Event, held in close collaboration with Oulu University of Applied Sciences. This 2025 edition was filled with inspiring presentations, engaging workshops, fruitful discussions, and the much-anticipated celebration of the 8th ArtTech Prize.

This year’s program brought together a diverse and dynamic community from across the ArtTech ecosystem. Whether through keynote talks, hands-on sessions, or informal exchanges, participants contributed to a truly enriching experience, one that highlighted the growing impact of art and technology on society, culture, and innovation.

Our heartfelt thanks

We extend our sincere appreciation to our valued partner, Oulu University of Applied Sciences’ Art Innovations research programme, for co-organizing this event with us.

We are equally grateful to the ArtTech Foundation Board, Marilyne Andersen and Patrick Michel, for their continued support, as well as to the members of the ArtTech Prize Jury for their time, expertise, and dedication.

Our warm thanks also go to our sponsors, Audemars Piguet, Cybel’Art, and Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture, whose commitment makes this event possible and helps foster new opportunities at the intersection of creativity and technology.
