Within the project we will support intense interdisciplinary interactions among audiovisual media artists, communication specialists, scholars, architects, activists and the citizens with a goal to experiment with new models and symbolic means of communication. Special focus will be on the analysis of interface-communication and visual expression leading to innovation in dynamic interactive tools and scenarios of expression and sharing.
