Projects and Format
MEET co-creates and disseminates digital culture in Italy through projects and initiatives carried out with national and international partners to reduce the digital divide and increase skills in the expressive and creative use of technology. Below you can explore the individual projects
Archaive
archaive explores the relationship between media art archives and GenAI, engaging artists and cultural institutions in research activities, artistic residencies, and the production of new digital artworks.
Studiotopia
In an era marked by unprecedented challenges, the Studiotopia initiative seeks to harness the creative synergy between artists and scientists to address an overarching theme: the Symbiocene. This concept, coined by eco-philosopher Glenn Albrecht, envisions a future in which humanity lives in harmony with the Earth and all its inhabitants, fostering mutual well-being and interconnectedness. Through Studiotopia, artists and scientists from diverse backgrounds collaborate on projects that illuminate the complexities of the Simbiocene. From exploring biodiversity hotspots to investigating sustainable technologies, each venture offers a unique perspective on our relationship with the natural world.
RIT – Realities in Transition
Building on the knowledge gained during the first phase of Realities in Transition (RiT – 2022-2025), the second edition of the project aims to explore the multidisciplinary facets of Extended Reality (XR) within the European creative, cultural, and artistic sectors. Realities in Transition – Unwritten worlds (RiT2) pushes the boundaries of XR as an artistic medium, addressing key sectoral challenges such as distribution, sustainability, diversity, and ecosystem development. Through a collaborative residency and mentoring programme, four international XR CAMPS, the creation of practical resources, and the development of a European XR network, the project equips cultural and creative professionals with the entrepreneurial and digital skills needed for economic sustainability.
EMAP – European Media Art Platform
The European Media Art Platform (EMAP) Extended project supports emerging artists in the field of digital media through residencies, workshops, and international mobility grants. Established in 2018 with the support of Creative Europe, EMAP offers artists the opportunity to develop innovative works ranging from media installations to virtual reality, robotics, AI and Bio Art. Selected via open calls, the artistic projects deal with the most urgent challenges of our time, including the climate crisis, social inequalities, inclusion, and the ethical implications of digital technologies. The aim is to foster greater public awareness and stimulate new critical perspectives by promoting international collaboration.
