BIP on PERFORMING DATA

BIP on PERFORMING DATA - Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program:

The Blended Intensive Program (BIP) on PERFORMING DATA is an Erasmus+ program featuring the partner universities National Academy of Art in Sofia (Bulgaria), Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol (Cyprus), and the University of Arts Linz (Austria). It was established to address issues, challenges and perspectives in a datadriven world. Students and professors of the three institutions engage in regular knowledge transfer sessions throughout the academic year, which culminates in the presentation of their artistic research projects at Ars Electronic Festival 2025.

The program was initiated and is coordinated by Prof. Manuela Naveau. The focus was on the topic of "Performing Data", on which the participants have already exchanged ideas intensively in a series of online workshops.

The results of this collaboration will be presented at the KunstuniCampus-exhibition during the ARS Electronica Festival 2025.

PERFORMING DATA uses data as material, as a tool, as a topic and/or a critique of our current realities. In particular, the program intends to investigate artistically the fluid, constantly changing potential of data in order to better understand how they influence us and our view of the world in both positive and negative ways.
