To the videocast format:
The Schaufler Kolleg@TU Dresden has created an innovative videocast format that brings the project's focus on data↔worlds to life in a new way. In conversations, our doctoral students meet artists and scientists and explore the interfaces between art, research and digital society together. The format opens up diverse perspectives on the use of data in our time - critical, creative and interdisciplinary.
