topic: Technology

A one-day event about Technology; what do technological developments mean for art and humanity? In 2015, ArtEZ Studium Generale invited various guests to reflect on: AI, biotechnology, information technology and neurosciences and how they have become part of our lives. Technology is taking over the world.

In Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley in 1818 already describes the currently relevant collision between curiosity and the idea of progress, and the deep-rooted fear of technological advancement. In 2018 we organized together with Museum Twenthe the Frankenstein Festival with workshops, lectures, performances, presentations.
