Bright Collisions is an international symposium program dedicated to creativity and society, a meeting point with a cross-sector focus aiming to promote transdisciplinary ideas. The programs - staged in collaboration with many partners - allow you to explore a creative range of contemporary and urgent topics in society. Bright Collisions refers to a specific moment in time in which people from usu
ally disconnected backgrounds come together out of either necessity or curiosity. The main idea of the event lies in its paradoxical title. These collisions, either directed especially for this occasion or displayed, can contribute to developing a greater understanding of, or initiating alternate perspectives on, a range of contemporary and urgent topics in society. Creative experts, policy makers, technologists, entrepreneurs, artists, companies and researchers from various backgrounds will look at what creative solutions can contribute to society in a time when the forms, values and relations of technology, media and social structures are changing, intertwining and exerting forces on each other. Available knowledge is reconfigured to facilitate our interaction with the world of today and tomorrow. In order to create a cohesive view on these developments, the topics are approached from various scientific, social, historical, futuristic and artistic perspectives on both a practical as well as a theoretical level.
