Would you like to change your wall into an interactive game screen? – Well, you are invited to an artistic workshop with experts from the International Centre for Arts and New Technologies (CIANT, Prague) who will show you the basics of interactive media installations.

You will be introduced to basic tools for building interactive outdoor/indoor installations as well as applications of available technologies.
