S+T+ARTS Online Colloquium "Echoes of Tomorrow"

Dr. Kirell Benzi: HPC Data Symphonies

Moderation: Matvey Fridman (Media Solution Center Baden-Württemberg e.V.)

Dr. Kirell Benzi is an award-winning data artist and AI researcher whose work explores how information can be transformed into artistic and immersive experiences. Holding a Ph.D. in Data Science from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), he investigates the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, and visualization to reveal the hidden structures shaping our world. His practice treats data as a living material: something that can be sculpted, animated, and experienced. Through large-scale installations, artistic data visualizations, and interactive environments, he transforms complex datasets into narratives that engage both intellect and emotion.

Ten artists have developed innovative projects at the intersection of art, science, and technology as part of the S+T+ARTS EC(H)O Residencies since January 2024. Starting in January 2026, the online colloquium Echoes of Tomorrow will provide insights into their results, thought processes, and collaborative approaches to an engaged public. In dialogue with selected experts, central questions of the projects will be explored: Which discourses drive the artists? How do scientific collaborations and technological methods shape the artistic process? And how can these experiences be used to open up new perspectives on the pressing questions of our present? Echoes of Tomorrow invites artists, professionals, and the interested public to discover the artistic research projects of S+T+ARTS EC(H)O and to engage in discussion with artists, experts, and stakeholders.
