People
• Cross-disciplinary team of about 15 researchers
• Partners in variety of domains (social, cultural, technological,..)
“risky” objects are created and used to provoke evocative transmedial
experiences, forcing people to interpret, participate, appropriate
objects should be “open” enough for everybody to participate (health care
workers, art public,...) setting of borders produces creative
friction, comparable to the friction that is produced in daily life
