ASTER+S is a project of the University of Seville that gives methodological support to pilot experiences in the cultural (scientific + artistic + humanistic) and educational fields, through the creation of works of art inspired by science and developed according to our «eco-SciArt methodology».
How do we apply the «eco-SciArt methodology»?
OUR HACKATHON
WHAT IS A HACKATHON?
A hackathon is an event in which different teams from the creative and technological field meet to participate in the creation of a prototype that solves a problem. In our case, these prototypes will be interdisciplinary works of art that provide a solution to the dissemination of a series of scientific content proposed by our collaborating researchers.
When?
Del 24 al 26 de enero de 2023
Where?
At the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática of the University of Seville (Av. Reina Mercedes s/n, 41012 Seville).

DURING THE HACKATHON
1st Hackathon Day: Meet participants + Develop a common understanding of “SciArt Seeds” + Create interdisciplinary teams.
2nd Hackathon Day: Brainstorming to develop the artistic concept and create the SciArt proposal, which we call “SciArt Flowers”.
3rd day of the Hackathon: Presentation of the “SciArt Flowers” projects in video format (3 min long).
AFTER THE HACKATHON
During three months, the interdisciplinary creative teams will develop their final artworks. Thus, the flowers will become the “SciArt fruits”.
Las «flores SciArt» seleccionadas formarán parte de una exposición colectiva que se inaugurará previa al verano de 2023. La muestra invitará a los visitantes a sumergirse en las instalaciones artísticas, no sólo disfrutando de ellas, sino también explorando las profundas dimensiones científicas y humanistas de las que se inspiran.
A selection of the exhibition will be on display during the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria.
REGISTRATION
Who can participate?
Free registration until full capacity is reached. Anyone of legal age can participate. We are looking for scientists, technologists and artists from any field or discipline.
If there are more candidates than the available capacity, a selection protocol will be followed based on criteria that promote interdisciplinary profiles and equal opportunities.
