All the young men and women who have already participated in labs at the Officina – New Jobs Workshop are receiving an unusual call by e-mail: become a digital artist!
During July and September, the Phyrtual Innovation Gym will host digital artists who use new technology for their creations. The artists will work together with Officina – New Jobs Workshop lab participants.
The final works will be exhibited in two international events promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale: the Global Junior Challenge (Rome, October 2015) and the Media Art Festival (Rome, MAXXI, April 2016).
The artworks will be created in the Game Lab and in the Immersive Lab.
