This session is a part of a series entitled 
POLYLOGUES organized by the International center 
for art and new technologies (CIANT) in Prague & 
New media studies (Charles University) in 
cooperation with Georgia Institute of Technology & 
MARCEL network. It aims to stimulate 
interdisciplinary exchange of ideas via sessions 
moderated from Prague while having guest speakers 
from all over the world.
We hope to create a bridge between countries that 
will facilitate intercultural or rather 
intercontinental and interdisciplinary exchanges 
in the fields of art and new technologies. All 
sessions will be recorded and made available to 
general public in the archive.
