ArtTech Forum Lithuania 2024
November 29th, 2024
CYBER CITY, Vilnius, Lithuania
The growing ties between the fields of technology and art are challenging the established rules of the cultural landscape. This tandem crosses, erases, and makes us reconsider conventional boundaries – physical, digital, auteur, social, and even financial.
This year, the second ArtTech Forum will focus on a wide range of topics to better understand the junction of technology and art – the walls it breaks down, the doors it opens and the boundaries it redraws.
What’s the difference between Instagrammable entertainment and a meaningful work of art? Should the images generated with Midjourney be considered art and who (or what) is supposed to sign their name under them? What fresh perspectives can technology bring to the table of monetised art? Is the potential for collaboration between technology and artists (un)limited?

PARTNERS
Let's Reprogram Lithuania's
ArtTech Future Together
Art and Technology might seem an unusual pairing, but it's far from a mismatch. Art challenges technology, and in turn, technology inspires art. The ArtTech realm is broadening, influencing the future of creative industries globally.
Lithuania demonstrates significant potential in the ArtTech field, suggesting the prospect of becoming a dynamic hub for creativity in the region and the EU. Now is the moment to unleash this creative powerhouse and acquire the skills to turn imagination into investments.
During this half-day event, we'll explore the intersection of art and tech from local to global, with a lineup of both national and international knowledgeable speakers sharing success stories, know-how, discussing trends, and exploring the future landscape for an inspiring experience.
Engage with visionaries, network, build future partnerships, and cultivate an environment where innovation flourishes.
