The konS ≡ PARK – Academy for Contemporary Investigative Art was established primarily to sensitize young people and the general public to change their understanding of science, technology, art and to develop attitudes that help us understand the dynamics of contemporary society in order to empower young people to use new technologies. 

We are living in a time when humans have become the most powerful species on the planet and have radically impacted the environment and destroyed the natural balance of the Earth's ecosystems. New scientific knowledge is (i) enabling us to better understand our coexistence with other species, to rethink what the planet has to offer and how we will make use of it, and (ii) reminding us to consider sustainable solutions in many ways. Through the workshops we develop and run at konS ≡ PARK, we try to culturalize the use of new technologies so that young people develop a critical attitude towards them and learn how to use them, as technologies are extremely powerful tools. New technologies can be used in many creative and constructive ways.
