   * developing a website as an online platform for connections between ICT and art (http://staging.ictartconnect.eu, currently in beta testing mode, for comments write to feedback@ictartconnect.eu)
+Ralph Dum, project officer ICT&Art Connect
+  * The initial question was: why art?
+  * difficult question - instrumentalisation etc.
+    * to create innovative products? not tech but creativity driven
+    * how can artists contribute to innovation in EU? Human dimension, multiple worlds…
+  * science, arts and technology connected through physical artefacts (functionality, aesthetics, social use…)
+  * links art & science - common: curiosity & serendipity
+  * (social) change, communicate, create (artefacts that change our society)
+  * artistic works in ICT&Art showed why is art important in the context of technology - e.g. big data, augmented reality, crowd (collective awareness, participation), serious games… - arts as a catalyst for new technologies
+  * EC: inclusion of artists in residence in different objectives: projects in IOT (internet of things), and other projects in Horizon 2020 - should become a standard practice in EC projects; dedicated call to ICT & Art (but for the time being it isn’t an evident choice… now still trying to find a rationale and see what is possible)
+  * important to have residencies on both sides - discussions with EACEA needed to see how scientists could work in arts organisations
+  * next step: artists a more central role in scientific practices
