I'm Jon Astorquiza, from the organizacion from Technarte 2009, the
International conference on Art and Technology to be held in Bilbao on 23
and 24 April 2009.
Technarte is an international conference to talk about the symbiosis between
art and technology, which covers a wide range of disciplines like nanoart,
nanotechnology, virtual reality, artificial life, architecture or augmented
immersive virtual environments in three dimensions, Art & Robotic, Net Art,
etc. in witch the speakers will show the real applicability of the fusion
between art and these disciplines.
The goal of Technarte is to show how technology opens infinite possibilities
to artists, and the companies use the technological creativity of the
authors as inspiration for new projects.
During two days, the artists, experts of Technological Researh Centers and
Universities and Art world professionals (researchers and developers from
Art centers, professionals of galleries and museums, universities, Public
Administration, etc.) will meet at the Euskalduna Palace of Bilbao, Spain,
