It is a 2-week full-time course on visual arts, media theory and
technology in their relation to the place. The workshop is designed
for students, scholars and artists from architecture, design, media
arts and science fields. Classes are in English with a high quality
tutoring, they are thought for the students to produce at the end of
the training, an interactive multimedia art work that will be
exhibited in the Roman underground historic center.
Moreover, this experience abroad has already established an
ongoing and growing dialogue between international artists.
