Guest: Interactive presentation by Ilias Chatzichristodoulou , Founder and Director of ADAF (Athens Digital Arts Festival)

 2. Creative Disruption: emerging practices

What happens when creativity encounters emerging technologies is the future redefined? AI, nanotechnology, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain and robotics invade our daily lives faster than ever before and we are challenged to navigate a world that is becoming increasingly complex and dynamic.
Guest: Interactive presentation by Manos Rovithis on Audio Legends: Augmented Reality Audio Games.

3. Mediated spaces in art, science and technology

Spaces convey multi layered meanings for the intermediation of discourse between art & science. Knowledge spaces in the sciences, humanities and the arts are often constructed and defined by ‘disciplinary’ approaches.
Guest: Yiannis Kranidiotis , Artist and programmer.

4. Designing the future: social design & collective intelligence

Design thinking as a non linear iterative process facilitates the cognitive understanding of social constructs, encounters within existing ecosystems and considers participatory methods by co-creation and action to prototype and evaluate them.
Guest: Alexandros Kontogeorgakopoulos, Academic musician and artist, European Art, Science Technology Network for Digital Creativity.
