Newsletter November 2013

In October, Transcultures fruitfully launced the Mobile Awards Arts & Networks within the Transnomades 2013 organised at Saint-Gilles/Brussels. On this occasion, we also launched a web site to be developped in the coming months, www.spamm.be (in partnership with spamm.fr – Super Modern Art Museum) where you can find web art creations but also critical contributions on the various forms of web/net arts (contributions are also welcomed!). After these past intense months of festivals, we propose in November (with our Belgian and French partners), several workshops and activities to open a larger audience to the diversity of the sound and digital practices.
