-Artist & technologist partnerships from across Europe will come together to share outcomes instigated through their participation in the project and to showcase both work and ideas from their projects so far. It will offer the opportunity to meet the creators, experience some of their work and to challenge ideas and perceptions on the future connections between Art and Technology. More about [[http://fo.am/ict-art-connect/| the programme]] on the FoAM site.+"Artist & technologist partnerships from across Europe will come together to share outcomes instigated through their participation in the project and to showcase both work and ideas from their projects so far.

 +ICT Art Connect study 
 +  * artists as researchers: how can artistic practices contribute to innovative ict developments 
 +  * 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" situations, a critical approach, unforeseen results (which raising the competitive approach), new methods to access and generate knowledge 
 +  * 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 'making', 'hacking…' 
 +  * 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 
 +  * 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
  
  
 +Yulia Matskevich (Brunel Univeristy)
 +  * 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, catalysts, disruptors, citizen engagement
 +  * what’s needed: more coordination & support, funding, infrastructure, opportunities for showcases and exhibitions, more opportunities for consultation, more transparency & dissemination
