In 2014, the Polytech.Science.Art program featured a number of workshops illustrating practical interaction between technology and art in the today’s world. During 2014, the participants were learning hacktivism and avant-garde media with Danja Vasiliev (Russia/Germany); identified themselves within the interactive environment guided by Sonia Cillari (Italy); applied methods of augmented reality to the urban spaces directed by Arturo Castro (Spain); learned about fibertronics and made an interactive map of Moscow on e-textile enabling microcomputers and sensors together with Artemis Papageorgiou (Greece); visualized their own brain signals using neural interfaces with Enzo Varriale (Italy) and explored sonic environment at the improvised laboratory by Aalborg University (Denmark). The results of the program’s first year were presented within the Polytech.Science.Art Week at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in December, 2014. The final exhibition Hopscotch displayed seven pieces created during the creative workshops of the Polytech.Science.Art program.</i><br></span><br>Polytech.Science.Art program curator – Natalia Fuchs, art historian (Media Art Histories, Donau Universität) and cultural management expert (Cultural Management, University of Manchester).<br><br>See the program details: <a href="http://psa.polymus.ru">psa.polymus.ru</a></div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
