Invitation to the Interdisciplinary Hackathon
We are excited to invite you to the interdisciplinary Hackathon ASTER, a unique opportunity to explore the synergies between art, design, technology, and neuroscience while developing innovative ideas!
The Hackathon encourages transdisciplinary innovation, inspiring new ideas, creative projects and reflections on the synergy between art and science. It explores alternative approaches to both fields, bridging knowledge and enhancing understanding in our complex modern world.
The hackathon workshop is dedicated to students of the University of Art and Design Linz and the JKU.
Join us and be part of the journey! We look forward to your participation and to fostering creative synergies together.

Why participate?
The Hackathon-SciArt fosters transdisciplinary innovation, offering you the chance to develop new ideas and engage with the intersection of art and science. You will learn how design and art can inspire creative approaches in science and technology and how scientific and technological perspectives can open new horizons for artists.
From the various concepts developed during the hackathon, a jury will select projects to receive support for realization. For three months, the creative interdisciplinary teams will develop the final artworks on their own - The Flowers will be transformed into the SciArt fruits. These projects will be presented at a group exhibition at the Ars Electronica Festival in September 2025.
ASTER+S is a University of Seville’s project, which provides methodological support to pilot experiences in the cultural (scientific + artistic + humanistic) and educational fields. We develop science-inspired artworks in accordance with our “eco-SciArt methodology.
