:: CARTES :: Centre of Art and Technology, Espoo, Finland, operates
mainly within the fields of electronic and media art, aural and visual.

The role of Cartes is critically productive, by presenting site specific projects as well as 'traveling' productions it strives to challenge interdisciplinary encounters between the many actors of culture and technology.

In the new media art and design of today, the recent shift of focus from ´interactive´ to ´participatory´ media signals a new sensibility. Through user-centered design and technology development enlaced with media art the productions of Cartes are at the focal point of the research projects, artist installations, festivals & workshops carried out or governed by Cartes.

The challenge is to invite the audience to think, feel and act - the search for the new always involves the questioning of the status quo of existing models and practices.

CARTES Centre of Art and Technology, Espoo, was established in 1989 by
the City of Espoo, Helsinki University of Technology and Sibelius Academy.
