Smart Culture Conference

This year’s NWO SMART CULTURE conference is organised in close cooperation with the Brave New World Conference and Beyond Human Festival  Focus of the Beyond Human Festival is how future technology will impact human life. During our events the worlds of arts and culture, philosophy, science, technology and storytelling will collide. The Smart Culture conference will have an interactive programme with two main tracks, a variety of debates, a hackathon and lots of opportunities to connect. We hope to create an inspirational setting for future research collaborations.  Our keynote speaker is James Bridle, the British journalist and artist who focuses on the role of technology in society.
