The way artists use and misuse emerging technologies in their work can prompt deeper reflection about our society than a two-hundred page report written by eminent sociologists can. But what really sets such work apart is its frequent exploration of issues that are immediately and achingly relevant

1[in]Convenient Project With this project, we intend to draw up proposals related to hypertext and hypermedia, new media and artistic creation, representing the paradox through ideas that arise by association, non-linear structures, operated from issues such as Sustainability, the Global Warming documented in "An Inconvenient Truth" and, limiting to the reality that we're closer to, the forests and the sea.
There is no need to draw conclusions, but to expose selected facts, confront and redesign it in "Unexpected" ways; avoiding moralism, dealing with irony, with stereotypes, with manipulation – as a result of a critical analysis, in a reflexive way or with a more interventive attitude – users would feel "affected", surprised, intrigued, or simply... would be left thinking about it. The paths may even contain an autobiographical section and be based on subjective experience, to be revealed on the diversity of prospects to present.
The completion of this work is in planning and design of a multimedia / hypermedia project, which should lead to reflection from the materials submitted and the surveys, the integration of subjects taught, and the practice resulting from the development and implementation of a concept through an iterative process, including the articulation of the various multimedia elements. The proposals developed are discussed, redesigned, and records of each the stages optimized for online presentation.
