| + | Summary of the project | ||
| + | * different matchmaking events, with different audiences and approaches | ||
| + | |||
| + | Themes that emerged from the project: | ||
| + | * need for infrastructure to support ICT&Art collaborations (collaborative centres, sustainable platforms, hubs, matchmaking events | ||
| + | * funding - more diversified and flexible | ||
| + | * open ended projects (as opposed to working towards a particular outcome) | ||
| + | * need for access - funding, domain specific information, | ||
| + | * sustainability and dissemination | ||
| + | * training | ||
| + | * communication & support | ||
| + | * transparency | ||
| + | * collaboration, | ||

| + | Recommendations and legacy of the project | ||
| + | * engage artists in the whole process: art interrogating research questions | ||
| + | * frameworks to involve a large number of different stakeholders | ||
| + | * education | ||
| + | * identifying relevant meeting spots | ||
| + | * regional diversity… | ||
| + | * mentoring with mentors external to the project | ||
| + | * matchmaking worked very well, should continue. perhaps more targeted and have other disciplines except art & ICT | ||
| + | * languages: it is necessary to keep specialist languages (scientists must have a way to talk about deep details, artists look more at horizontal scanning, both need to find a way to talk to citizens) | ||
| + | * large mission - easy to get lost in, scientists can help with methodological rigour. the artists provide a large, long term vision that scientists might not dare to propose - a way not to stick to the brief. there should be an artist in every scientific project | ||

| + | ICT Art Connect study | ||
| + | * artists as researchers: | ||
| + | * people combining art & ict in one person | ||
| + | * quotes by Roger and Frank Malina - art & science collaborations to increase well-being of human beings in all their complexity | ||
| + | * ICT & Art - instrumental for "post crisis" | ||
| + | * what methods, processes and instruments are needed? | ||
| + | * enaction distinguishes artistic from scientific practices - learning by doing, making as a thinking process; artists manipulate ict tools - this could become reproducible in technology | ||
| + | * artists are sensory beings - conscious and unconscious dialogues with society. | ||
| + | * artistic processes - methods for integration of subjectivity in the generation of knowledge | ||
| + | * art in the 20th century more critical, now more focused on ' | ||
| + | * Examples from Myron Krueger, Michael Naimark, Jeffrey Shaw, Golan Levin - artists are about 20 years ahead of the industry | ||
| + | * how can artists become more independent from funding? | ||
| + | * dangers of appropriation of techno-artistic work by corporations (e.g. arduino, pulsu(m) plantae by Leslie Garcia) | ||
| + | * EU has a vision where arts are much broader understood than elsewhere (e.g. Ars Electronica distinguishing the Linux founder with an artistic Prix) | ||
| + | * Event in September in BOZAR with iMinds & Artshare | ||

| + | 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, | ||
| + | * links art & science - common: curiosity & serendipity | ||
| + | * (social) change, communicate, | ||
| + | * 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), | ||
| + | * 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 | ||

| + | * results went beyond wildest expectations | ||
| + | * where are we now and look towards the future | ||
| + | * started at the EU cultural forum, Robert Madelin and Ralph Dum from DG Connect supported the initial ideas | ||
| + | * 12 months: 11 events, 19 residencies + 15 external events | ||
| + | * bringing together communities | ||
| + | * learning a lot about existing issues | ||
| + | * testimonials… | ||
| + | * what art brings to ict: critical engagement and reflection & testing of tech, co-creation, | ||
| + | * what’s needed: more coordination & support, funding, infrastructure, | ||
