It was an adventure, perhaps, a good one, to be on the jury for the first Asta Award for art, science & technology in Art & Ai category. To me personally, or rather politically, it was indeed not an easy decision to engage in a cultural initiative in my infamous motherland for the first time since the full-scale invasion (let’s admit this war is actually on for many years now). However, the community, which includes some of the most brilliant local (or previously-local) people that took part in the jury is a group of some extraordinary people within the art & science cultural project out there, who I genuinely want to stay connected to despite complete inability & geographical spread as a result of forced mobility. Athough perhaps this mobility harm is incomparable to that of many others as a result of this catastrophe. Anyway, I genuinely believe that in the times like this, we also need to try and preserve, something very valuable, \u2013 the community. A shout-out to @amicat & @dashaazbil whose work was my nomination of choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
