ART-TECHNOLOGY-SOCIETY-INTERACTIONS

Art-Technology-Society Interactions (ATSI) are all about how art, technology, and society come together and interact with each other. Within the VOICE project, ATSI is a way for people to talk, share knowledge, and work together. Artists, tech experts, and citizens can use their unique skills to tackle complex issues like the environment and making society better.

Here’s what each part means:

Art: Refers to creative expression using various forms such as visual arts, performing arts, literature, music, and more. Artists may use these interactions (visual installations, performances, digital media or any other form) to engage talk about important societal issues or share ideas and messages.

Technology: Technology describes the tools, techniques, and systems we use to fix problems or get things done. In the context of ATSI, technology can be anything from traditional tools to cutting-edge digital innovations, including but not limited to software, hardware, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and internet-connected devices.

Society: This means all of us together - our culture, values, beliefs, social structures, power dynamics and how we live together. In ATSI, we think about how society affects art and technology, and the opposite.

The ATSI concept is about how these three parts connect and change each other. It’s a way to see how art, technology and society can make the world a better place by developing new ideas through wider cultural engagement.
