ACT Labs NYC / Live Ideas 2019 HACK-ART-THON
Prototype Presentation/Jury Deliberation/Award Ceremony

Up to ten pairs of carefully selected and matched Fellows, an artist and an AI technologist, will take part in a two-day HACK-ART-THON to work on prototype of art x technology projects that raise awareness or contribute to a concrete solution for Breaking The Stigma around Mental Illness. The projects, from performances, interactive art pieces, to apps, must use some form of AI technology. Mentors from the fields of technology, art/activism, mental health, PR and presentation will advice the Fellows throughout the process. The prototypes will be presented in front of the jury and audience. The winning team will receive $5000 in grant funding to continue developing the project. Other prizes include year-long mentorship and support, artist residencies, opportunities to present their work and more.

Winners of the ACT Labs NYC/Live Ideas 2019 two-day HACK-ART-THON, artist and tech teams raising awareness or contributing to a concrete solution for Breaking The Stigma around Mental Illness, are announced on May 12 at 6:30 pm. Attendence is free!
