STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT:
Reactive Residence -concept
The Reactive Residence -work platform was developed further in co-operation with the University of Tampere, the Tampere University of Applied Sciences and YLE. The first seminar (Media Artist at the Crossroads of New Performing Environments) produced by the concept will be held in September 2013.
Reactive residence as a part of YLE´s Mediapolis-initiative
The Reactive Residence -concept, developed by the VIMMA project will be developed further as one of the research content platforms for Mediapolis-initiative. The project contributed to the planning of the educational and research contexts for the YLE´s and Technopolis´ Mediapolis-initiative in various ways. As a result, University of Tampere (School of Communication, Media and Theatre – CMT) and Tampere University of Applied Sciences (Fine Arts, TV and Film) agreed on organising certain parts of their education within the Mediapolis. From the VIMMA projects initiative, CMT and the School of Information Sciences/ Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction are acquiring a common workspace from Mediapolis.
