Featuring a series of artistic, educational and research activities, the festival will be presenting the results of the educational and research work of both Departments in the field of the modern arts of sound and vision. At the same time, there will be an ongoing discussion of issues and questions concerning the relation between Art and audiovisual technologies, such as:

• What are the potential new forms of artistic expression provided by new technologies?
• Which new techniques of artistic creation arise from the use of these technologies?
• How can these new techniques be taught?
• How does digital technology accessibility affect the creative process, as well as the individual’s partaking in contemporary arts?
• Could the use of new technologies in arts pave new ways towards approaching sciences and culture in general?

The festival is organized in the ambit of the Ambient Creativity European Programme, in which participate the ACROE Research Centre of the Polytechnic School of Grenoble and the Art and Media Technology Centre of Karlsruhe (ΖΚΜ), along with the Ionian University. Distinguished artists and researchers from Greek and foreign research centres and academic institutions, professors and students of the Ionian University, as well as graduates of the Postgraduate Studies Programme of the Music Studies Department on Audio Arts and Technologies will be attending and contributing to the various activities and events.
