Bridging Art and Design with Technology:
Explore the New Possibilities in Creativity

In recent years, the boundaries between art and design studies have become less rigid. Some artists are studying the shifting nature of art studies and erasing these boundaries. In contrast, designers are increasingly exploring design elements to meet changing user needs caused by advanced technology. The transdisciplinary nature of art and technology has fostered new approaches to artistic expression, including new media arts and digital arts. Meanwhile, the linkages between design and technology are putting forward advanced aspects of design experience, including design and emotion, data visualisation, and human interaction design. Technology has advanced from data computerisation to network-community interactions in past decades, providing an opportunity to further investigate the potential of the linkages between art and design under the influence of technology.

With a particular focus on creativity’s role in bridging art, design, and technology, this conference aims to explore creativity and its intersection with art, design, and technology. It also serves as an academic platform for discussing, sharing new insights and strives to spread awareness of digital arts, design, and culture via a range of academic, professional, and cultural initiatives. Academics, researchers, practitioners, and others from all over the world working in the broadly defined fields of digital arts, culture, creative industries, education, and transdisciplinary methods have submitted a large number of cutting-edge works for this conference.

A four-day conference titled ‘International Conference of Art, Design and Technology 2024’ will be held in this Summer. This conference will provide the opportunity to exchange experiences, develop fresh ideas, and develop collaborative strategies for interested scholars, practitioners and other stakeholders. Scholars from both local and overseas regions will present their most current findings on important issues such as user-generated content, creative applications of art and design studies with digital technologies, and the impact of technology on art and design education. Additionally, academics and practising artists/designers from Hong Kong and overseas will share their practical creative insights into art and design studies and technology.
