International Workshop: Contigliano, Italy July 4-16
This summer come study and experiment how to merge innovative interactive technology with history, art, and culture in the castle of a breathtaking medieval town in the heart of Italy.
Contigliano is an undiscovered medieval citadel in the center of Italy, in the province of Rieti surrounded by nature, one hour from Rome.
This workshop is a 2-week full-time course, designed for students, scholars, and artists from architecture, design, media arts, and engineering fields about media theory, visual arts, and technology in their relation to oral history and urban interaction. The workshop has classes in English and offers quality individual tutoring, and is designed for the students to produce, at the end of the training, a multimedia art work to be exhibited in the medieval town. Moreover, this experience abroad wants to create an ongoing dialogue between international artists, as a longer term project.
The workshop is organized by the non-profit association MEDIARS (Center for Interactive Media for Art and Entertainment) in collaboration with the town of Contigliano, together with international scholars from California State University Chico, UCLA, the University of Florence and the University of l’Aquila.
