What about digital realm as public space ?

What forms take digital art or performance in public space? How art is narrated through digital technology? How about to imagine digital space as public space? How to integrate digital technology in a site-specific creation? What about the potential of cultural and digital mediation in the creation of new urban public spaces ? Doesn't digital performance reinforce the individualistic side of our society?

A three-way conversation between:

> Matt Adams, Associate artist of Norfolk & Norwich Festival (UK)
> The partner Fanni Nanay, Director of Artopolis / PLACCC Festival (HU)
> Marc El Samrani, scholar and researcher on new urban public spaces, the associate citizen of Lieux Publics (FR),
