Design and creativity are today the protagonists of a number of industries which aim to find solutions to meet people’s needs and combine at the same time aesthetics, technology and innovation.
The Master of Advanced Studies in Interaction Design SUPSI and Lugano Living Lab are glad to host a three-day conference focussing on design, arts and innovation. Eleven speakers including curators, artists, designers, creative entrepreneurs and cultural institutions will present how they actively promote practices, projects and initiatives at the intersection between design and technology in the cultural industries, in the arts and in the entrepreneurship, both in Switzerland and internationally.
