> design concept and performances in media space: light affair
Taking place in a central, but derelict section of Old Riga the theme of
'transformation of place' through networking (both physical and virtual)
will be manifest in the conferences various facilities through
installations, include evening programmes of media synesthesia (visible
sound/audible light), as well as by the official initiation of an ambitious
engineering project for the creation of Media Space - a new headquarters
for RIXC.
