The ligeti center is organizing the international symposium ArtSearch from October 24 to October 26, 2024. We invite international artists and researchers to apply and participate. This year’s symposium will focus on Artistic Intelligence. ArtSearch was launched at the HfMT Hamburg in 2016 and was held for the second time in 2020. The third symposium in 2024 will once again aim to bring researchers and artists together to discuss current developments in the field of artistic research.
The ligeti center, located in Hamburg Harburg, was founded as a joint project by the Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT), the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). It operates as a knowledge translation project at the intersection between art and science.
