Our Mission

We explore experiences in arts & culture and co-create applications that facilitate engagement, communities, and the creation of meaning at the regional level. We establish networks with players in the cultural and creative sectors, foster public outreach and develop innovative teaching formats with creative experts, audiences, and partners throughout Europe.

Our Vision

We enrich technologies in arts & culture with thought-provoking narratives that foster critical thinking and personal engagement. Our research contributes to the design of accessible applications that cater to diverse audiences. Our network shares competencies in audience research and digital design with stakeholders in the fields of art, cultural heritage, tourism, and ecology.
