Educational Program · Participatory Workshop Series

Interactive Empathy Session: Human × Emotions × Machines is a series of participatory workshops developed for students of Goethe-Institut partner schools in Kolkata.

Through artistic experimentation and interactive technologies, participants explored how emotions can be perceived, communicated, and transformed into visual expression. The workshops combined contemporary media art, human perception, and creative dialogue, encouraging students to experience artificial intelligence not as an abstract technology but as a collaborative artistic tool.

Students from different schools participated in sessions that combined discussion, practical exercises, and live demonstrations of custom-built interactive system.

Producer: Goethe Institut Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata as part of its educational and cultural programme for partner schools.
