Kicking off five days of conferences, networking, and discovery, an interdisciplinary group of experts from institutions, start-ups, and corporations, among others, will look toward the future of the Creative Economy – the business models, the challenges, the impact, and the opportunities for revolutionary ideas to hack the status quo. And with the intent of creating a revolution is how the first day of The Arts+/B3 Festival will end, as we give the stage to the activists and change makers driving real change and working toward desirable futures.

Virtual realities of the online world are often cited as an example of how the difference between reality and fiction begins to blur. But even the offline world is full of fictions that are part of our reality in a peculiar way. Art, in particular, plays with these distinction in disconcerting ways. / Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther (Cluster of Excellency "The Formation

of Normative Orders" Goethe University Frankfurt; Germany)

Are we headed for a cultural economy where “the winner takes all”? What happens to diversity in arts and literature if size trumps everything in the digital marketplace? The term “Superstar Economy” refers to a theory stating that while digitisation creates opportunities, it also demands vast resources in order to be a part of it. Will the digital economy give us less diversity? Or does it simply pro-vide easier access to music, literature and movies, making art more profitable? Insights from Norway and beyond.

“Who is your muse?” has been a quintessential question posed to artists for centuries. Today, some of the creatives at the helm of art, design, architecture, and storytelling may just answer: Artificial Intelligence. AI has written symphonies, painted works of art, and created movie trailers. AI and virtual technology are embedding themselves into the creative process and culture everywhere, fostering a dialogue with the artist and redefining what it means to be creative. But what is also being redefined and redrawn are the lines between fantasy and reality, between what is real and what is “fake”. The second edition of the Frankfurt AI Conference looks at what AI and technology mean for the future of culture and the creative sector – and what the ethical implications are as we challenge existing perceptions of reality.

Emerging technologies and the internet provide tools for digital surveillance, privacy violations and the creation and dissemination of “fake” content. They run the risk of perpetuating power structures, societal inequalities and biases. And constantly challenge our perception and notions of authenticity and reality. But new technolo-gies also have the potential to democratise knowledge, education and culture. They give museums and cultural institutions the opportunity to make their collections and content available for free to a wider audience as well as make them more inclusive and accessible. They also provide artists, developers, researchers and all other players in the cultural and creative sectors with open source tools and information, enabling them to connect and exchange ideas.

Held annually in conjunction with Frankfurter

Buchmesse, THE ARTS+ assembles some of

the most innovative thinkers and practitioners

from around the world to explore, debate and

shape the future of culture and creativity in the

digital age. A fair, exhibition and interdisciplinary

festival at once, THE ARTS+ constitutes a vibrant,

temporary platform that showcases, catalyses

and harnesses the potential of digitisation and

new technologies for the cultural and creative

industries (and vice versa), while also fostering

interdisciplinary conversations, synergies,

networks and collaboration.

Now in its fourth year, THE ARTS+ takes its

exploration of the convergence of art, culture

and technology even further than in previous

editions. Collaborating for the first time with the

B3 Biennial of the Moving Image, THE ARTS+

will be augmented by the renowned B3 flagship

exhibition, featuring film, media, games and

tech-based instal lation art, and by a new

thematic track in the curated programme.
