NODES ART+TECH ENCOUNTERS: SUSTAINABILITY

In partnership with

Emerging technologies are both local and global. Tech innovation coming out of Silicon Valley and elsewhere has major ripple effects throughout the entire world, dominating our lives in both positive and negative ways.
By placing artists within tech R&D teams at the heart of the global tech industry, in Silicon Valley, we allow art thinking to positively influence tech development processes. Additionally to our rapidly growing network, our new activities build on the findings of our investigation, published in The Grid - Art + Tech Reports of 2019 and our recent The Grid - Art + Tech Report of 2020.
Aligning artists and technologists to enhance our humanity
The Grid is a global network connecting artists and technologists. It was launched in Silicon Valley and has since transformed into a global multi-stakeholder platform of artists, technologists, cultural institutes, global art institutions, policy makers, and tech companies.
What? Art Powers Technology
The Grid follows an ambitious vision: We want to incorporate art-thinking into the development of new technologies and to jump-start a conversation between artists, technologists, and policy makers from around the world.
To meet this challenge, artists and technologists must come together, to imagine, to make, to create.
