Two FET-Proactive projects, Flora Robotica and Bio4Comp are amongst the 10 winners of the first Vertigo Starts Artistic Residencies Program. These residencies provide the opportunity to artists and R&I projects to collaborate and catalyse a holistic innovative view over technologically driven projects.

The FET projects that have been selected to host an artistic residency are:

  • Flora Robotica (FET Proactive): Artists Castellanos & Valverde will contribute with the "/The Plants Sense\", a project focused on human-plant-robot interactions. The artists in residence will develop a wearable enabling humans to feel plants senses. More info: http://bit.ly/2umAahw
  • Bio4Comp (FET Proactive): Artist Tim Otto Roth will contribute with the project SMART>SOS, a video and sound installation revealing a new paradigm of computation: a living calculation process on a sub-sub-microbiological level. More information

VERTIGO is funded under the Horizon 2020 European STARTS initiative, Innovation at the nexus of Science, Technology, and the ARTS. (S+T)*ARTS = STARTS promotes the arts as catalysts for efficient conversion of science and technology knowledge into products, services, and processes.
