So far there were talks about AI, surveillance, quantum computing, social media, blockchain and many more topics. As it is a very fast-moving field, the talks' goal is to offer different perspectives and show how artists investigate new technologies.

From 2018 - 2024, we were generously hosted by the Game Technology Center.
From 2026 onwards, we are hosted by the Institute of Visual Computing through Prof. Olga Sorkine-Hornung's Interactive Geometry Lab.
