CARTES CARTES
Centre of Art and Technology, Espoo
CARTES –Centre of Art and Technology Espoo operates mainly within the fi elds
of electronic and media art, aural and visual. The role of Cartes is critically
productive, by presenting site specifi c 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 usercentered
design and technology development enlaced with media art the
productions of Cartes are at the focal point of festivals, workshops and artist
installations 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.
The Foundation of Art and Technology, Espoo, that governs Cartes was
established in 1989 by the City of Espoo, Helsinki University of Technology
and Sibelius Academy.
Cartes Offi ce and Studio are located in the WeeGee House, Tapiola, Espoo.
This Constructivist building, originally designed as a printing house
in the 1960´s by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori, has been transformed into a
unique exhibition center. It contains over 20’000 square meters of living
culture, art, exhibitions and events.
