Media space
The programme explores the relationship between local communities and local media in the changing broadcast environment. Central to the programme are projects examining the challenges that the current digital switchover faces vis-à-vis the civil society. The programme offers a platform for artists who are developing new content, technologies and production models for the changing broadcast field.

The aim of the programme is to promote debate around the place of local media in today’s society and to network and facilitate exchange between artists working in this area.
