​

“What is Watt?” is an interdisciplinary artistic project that, since 2001, has brought together a group of artists with the intention of developing diverse works, through multiple uses of existing technological resources. The project refers to the questioning of artistic praxis in contemporary times, which meets emerging technologies and the resulting availability of global participation. In other words, a widespread tendency towards the dematerialization of the work of art is recognized, which corresponds to multiple connections between art, science and technology.

​

This project has the support of the Portuguese Republic / Culture and the General Directorate of Arts.
