We are
Art and
tech society
We aim to give a new impulse to the innovation heritage of Eindhoven.
Who we are
Art + Tech Society (ATS) is a new and non-profit foundation, established in Eindhoven, committed to contribute to the creation of a better world by using art, technology and entrepreneurship as enablers of a nature-centric prosperity. We do and will activate and empower people, organizations and communities to collaborate.
We aim to become an impactful platform that creates knowledge and know-how, perhaps even wisdom, through organizing exhibitions, workshops and meetings in which reflection and awareness take place and people are given the means to start making change happen.
What we do
ATS’ ambitions are not small. We will, however, start in a local and small way with two complementary activities:
- Cultural Expeditions are open events in which people can reflect on societal paradigms (mental models) to start proposing alternative paths that lead us to a better future.
- Transition Lab is a current community of multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary professionals and students who will work on making Eindhoven, a more nature-inclusive city.
