The INTERACTIVOS?'12 DUBLIN seminar and workshop have been developed and staged together with Medialab-Prado Madrid as part of Studiolab, a 3-year Europe-wide initiative that merges the artist's studio with the research lab. Funded by the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme in 2011, Studiolab is a network that provides a platform for creative projects that bridge divides between science, art and design.
