Award-winning festival is putting Leicester on the map

An award-winning festival that combines artificial intelligence, art and cutting-edge computer scientists is putting Leicester on the map. The Art AI Festival, which is run by Professor Tracy Harwood of the Institute of Creative Technologies at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has been invited to be part of a network of the UK's top science festivals. The UK Science Festivals Network Association is run by the British Science Association, supported by the UK Research and Innovation and Wellcome Trust. It exists to promote science and help festivals gain new audiences by showcasing some of the best work happening today. Membership means the Art AI Festival will have the chance to work with the network to grow, be a voice for science, have access to funded projects and work with other festivals to promote best practice.
