The High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart and Media Solution Center Baden-Württemberg open their doors on 18 – 22 May 2026 to welcome artists, scientists and CCI professionals for a new instalment of theGATE, an initiative aimed at exploring the convergence of Science, Technology, Arts and Society.

The event consists of three pillars.

*The eCulture convention is a professional event that promotes debate, discussion and reflection on the challenges and opportunities in the confluence of art, science, technology and society as a key driver to face and envision the future.

*The ReACH Workshop invites artists to work on their own project proposals related to HPC, scientific simulation/visualization, AI and more while being coached by experts in these fields.

*And finally the festival / art exhibition will highlight art-driven innovation projects developed in artistic residencies at supercomputing centers and beyond.
