Projects
The Media & Performance research group works on a broad variety of projects and topics, ranging from games to urban media, art and performance, from media institutions and industries to forms of knowledge production and transmission, and from technobodies to AI and datafication. We address questions about social inclusion, and participatory and playful interactions, about environmental concerns, or the reconfiguration of our senses and practices due to new technologies.
With our research we collaborate with artists, festivals, museum, archives, NGO’s, creative industries, educational sectors, and municipalities.
