Welcome to the Aalto Digital Creatives Art & Tech Gala. In this event, the Art & Tech Open Call winners from 2020-2022 showcase their projects in on-stage presentations and off-stage demos.
The annual Art & Tech Open Call offers audiovisual, design, gaming and other cutting-edge projects an opportunity to apply for development funding and a chance to use Aalto Studios’ state-of-the art production facilities. In this hybrid gala event, the winning teams of 2020-2022 showcase their projects and how they have utilised the support from Aalto University.
The Art & Tech Gala takes place on Aalto Studios’ new Hybrid Stage enabling remote participation via streaming.
During the event day, the audience has the chance to experience three project demos. Prior to the Art & Tech Gala’s stage program, we welcome you to join two of the pre-event demos which take place in the Experimental Studio and in the Visualisation Hub, a 360-degree projection area using Igloo Vision technology for a shared immersive experience. Please make sure to register for the pre-event demos separately. The third demo takes place in the VR Hub, next to the Hybrid stage, after the stage presentations.
