Recently iMal started the BraveNewWorld workshops around the merging of digital and physical spaces. "Our digital life and social interactions are going to happen through tangible augmented objects and our physical environment will become the playground of new social and artistic behaviors, interventions, actions both in data and media spaces." 

Since this is highly compatible with the themes of the (public)space module, we invited Marie-Laure Delaby and Stéphane Noël to present the workshop projects.
