STArtas Innovation Workshop – Discovering ArtTech in Vilnius

During the STArtas innovation workshop in Vilnius, I had the opportunity to explore the concept of ArtTech more deeply. While the term was relatively unfamiliar to me before, I discovered that in Lithuania it has grown into a strong and organized ecosystem. Organizations have been actively building communities for years that bring together artists, technologists, and entrepreneurs to develop new ideas and projects. Seeing how these collaborations are supported and structured offered an inspiring perspective on how creative and technological disciplines can intersect.

"Talking with students and educators from different countries made me realize that many universities face the same challenge: we all believe in cross-disciplinary collaboration, yet making it truly work inside educational institutions is much harder than it sounds."

"Before coming to Vilnius, ArtTech was a concept I had only vaguely heard about. It was fascinating to discover that in Lithuania organizations have been actively building ArtTech communities for years, bringing together artists, technologists, and entrepreneurs."
