The three-day event attracts a large number of students from universities in Asia and Europe, such as the University of Saint Joseph (Macau, China); the Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kwangwoon University, Ulsan Art Museum and Dongseo University (the Republic of Korea); Chulalongkorn University (Thailand); Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts (China); and Pantheon Design & Technology Institute (Italy).
It also draws the participation of a community of people and businesses enthusiastic regarding technology and art.
Themed ‘Inspiration for People to Act on Sustainability’, AFT23 conveys the message concerning people in sustainable development, by creating a unique interactive space, combining art and technology, to explore and celebrate the important role humans play in creating positive changes.
According to experts, the world today is facing many problems: pollution, global warming, urban and cultural issues, inequality and social stratification. Every profession and field impacts world development.
In this context, ArtTech, the intersection of technology and art, has developed strongly and created new opportunities to address common challenges of humanity in modern society, contributing to fostering sustainable development, while improving people’s quality of life.
A total of 16 exhibitions are being held within the framework of the ATF23, covering various themes of digital art in 3D mapping, visual digital art, global affordable art, photography art, VR games, virtual fashion, interactive art and performances.
Participants will also join five international seminars discussing sustainable digital education, holographic, how art-tech improves quality of life; and the inequality in access to technology, education, culture, and environment.
The highlight of the event is an interactive programme featuring a real-time graphic art performance that shows the sustainability of culture, AI art and humans and new ways in which technology can impact our lives and society.

The performance also explores how each person can contribute to sustainable development through both personal and community actions.
According to UEH President Prof. Dr. Su Dinh Thanh, following the success of ArtTech Fusion 2022, the international event series ArtTech Fusion 2023 promotes sustainable development in the community, honouring the role of people in creating sustainable development.
It also aims to encourage more efforts to improve the quality of education, enhance the quality of life, as well as reduce inequality in the fields of education, technology and society.
He expressed his hope that this year’s event will bring a new perspective, helping to rethink the future and find new ways to regenerate resources for sustainable development.
