ZKM and Asociación de Arte Útil are inviting the public to submit information on historical as well as ongoing projects, operating in the intersection of art and technology – thinking about how technologies can serve societies, politics and science in a spirit of conviviality and solidary coexistence. Considering that technologies are embedded in our societal cosmos, there is no single technological solution to global problems. In this sense, we are welcoming a broad understanding of technologies and tools that empower the interests of diverse communities and fields of research.

Projects can be submitted by anyone, included but not limited to the initiators of the project. 

The selected projects will be included in the archive of the Asociación de Arte Útil network. They will also be presented with the archive as part of UN_CTRL: Festival for Convivial Technologies and Art, organised by ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
