Italy Through the Lens of Mobile Technologies - Only Planet Nokia workshop for students of School of Humanities and Social Sciences
Document Actions
Art and creativity are cornerstones of Italian culture. This is seen in Italy’s rich cultural heritage and also in the business sector where Italian companies are leaders in design and fashion. The aim of this important workshop developed with Nokia is to find new ways of narrating Italian Creativity and Contemporary Culture through photo and video capture using mobile technologies.
Students will be guided step-by-step in this creative process by Tina Gonsalves a multimedia artist based in London, by Juha Hemanus, senior concept designer at Nokia and by VIU researchers. Students will discover new ways of communicating Italian creativity in a global context using mobile phones provided by Nokia.
The participants are students of VIU and of Ca' Foscari - Facoltà di Economia.
Working in groups, the results will be photo and video projects exhibited at the end of the semester. The group members of the best project will win a trip to Helsinki to participate in the annual Nokia Only Planet conference in September 2007.
The workshop will run until June 2007 and is an extra-curricular activity for students of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
