STARTS Exhibition @ Ars Electronica Festival

The S+T+ARTS = STARTS initiative is a program of the European Commission launched in 2016 to encourage synergies between the arts and technology to support innovation in industry and society. STARTS promotes the inclusion of artists in research and innovation activities in Europe and funds projects to encourage collaborations of engineers, scientists and artists. As one of these projects, Ars Electronica in collaboration with BOZAR and Waag has launched a prize to select the most pioneering collaborations and results in the field of creativity and innovation where science and technology intersect with the arts. At the festival, Ars Electronica presents a selection of the prizewinning and nominated works of STARTS Prize 2018 together with new results and prototypes coming out of the STARTS initiative.
