AN ARCHIPELAGO
OF ATELIERS

How European AI Factories Can Power the New European Bauhaus

Friday 12 June
15:55–17:15 (CEST)

Park Stage, NEB Festival, Brussels

Europe's AI factories are not merely computing infrastructure — they are the new ateliers. Like the original Bauhaus workshops, they are spaces where craft, creativity, and technology converge to prototype new ways of making and living. Yet today these resources remain largely out of reach for the artistic, design, and sustainability communities that are building the NEB movement.

Through a coalition of leading European HPC centres and artists working at the frontier of computation and ecological imagination, this full day event presents the vision of an Archipelago of Ateliers — a distributed network of creative-computational laboratories powering circular design, new materials, environmental modelling, and democratic tools for the next chapter of the NEB.
