According to the head of the program Prof. Dalila Honorato "This exhibition represents a key milestone for the faculty and students of the MARes program who have inaugurated the first semester in January 2025. By foregrounding art as research—and research as a mode of radical imagination—the program offers a vital contribution to contemporary debates at the intersection of aesthetics, ethics, and emerging technologies."
The exhibition is part of the broader Audiovisual Arts Festival and positions Corfu as a vital meeting point for global discourses in hybrid arts and transdisciplinary thinking.
