2014 Resident: 

Monica Rikci works with tangible media and addresses the challenges of inclusion in the digital age. Working with seemingly simple and playful interfaces Monica reveals, invites and supports a deeper understanding and engagement of code and systems. Engaging with both a age and cultural diverse audience Monica is tackling the digital divide one block at a time. 

These residencies culminated in an international presentation at the Werkleitz Festival 2015 

The project has been funded with support from the European Culture 2013 program of the European Union.

 It was a privilege to curate and support the EMARE artists.
