How to communicate and be connected during the time of isolation?
How technology can help us to stay connected despite any crises?
How can we create meaningful scientific and artistic projects without being able to be close to each other?

All these and many other questions we will try to answer during VR_Sci + ARt Festival  by inviting our experts,
creators and makers. In addition, we will have a space for bringing new questions, visions and solutions
VR Sci & Art Festival ‘Social senses’ will be hosted by KTH Reaktorhallen during 9th of September. 

The event is supported by KTH Digitalization Platform.
