HCM CITY — A variety of academic workshops, international exchanges, tech art exhibitions, and interactive visual arts performances are being held at the annual international ArtTech Fusion 2024 event that opened in HCM City on Tuesday.

The third edition of the international event series themed “New ArtTech for Future Generations” has brought together numerous domestic and international scientists and enterprises in the fields of art and technology.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Prof. Nguyễn Đông Phong, chairman of the University of Economics HCM City council, said, “ArtTech Fusion 2024 is not only an artistic event and exhibition but also an international networking platform, a scientific and practical forum that calls on everyone to come together to build a better world, reminding us of the power of technology in exploring and clarifying the power of art, in connecting people, and promoting creativity towards a brighter, more sustainable future.”

“This is a forum that connects universities, professors, students, scientists, researchers, experts, businesses, government, and the communities who are passionate about ArtTech,” Phong said.

With the goal of creating a sustainable environment that enhances human capabilities during the height of the new technological revolution, ArtTech Fusion 2024 aims to provide golden opportunities to connect, introduce, and integrate innovative solutions, with a focus on design and sustainable development for future generations.
