In 2019 Braga saw the birth of Index, the first international event focused on the relationship between art and technology, created since it was awarded the title of creative city of UNESCO in the field of media arts. Index will return in 2021, but by 2020 it will not fail to keep up with us, with multiple perspectives on art and technology through a series of sessions entitled \u201cConstru\u00e7\u00e3o de um index\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The first session will allow us to think about the relationship between art, science and technology and the role of error in the context of artistic and technological processes through two roundtables; inaugurate a new work on the Scale Travels series by German Marcel Weber (MFO) and present an audiovisual show by Canadians Push 1 Stop & Wiklow.<\/p>\n

15h
\nArt, Technology and Science: New Paths and Value
\n<\/strong>Round Table # 1
\nfree entrance<\/p>\n

What unites and separates these three concepts? This panel aims to discuss potential new paths for the already long relationship between art, technology and science, and to reflect on how artists and scientists can derive mutual benefit from joint processes, even though they are linked to substantially different contexts. The issue will be discussed through the perspective of artists, curators and a scientist.<\/p>\n
