Description or summary of the proposed project
The Bit Explorers Research Team operating at the University of Silesia in Katowice is looking for partners to submit an application for a project in the field of experimental media art. We plan to submit the application in the call for proposals for the Creative Europe program in the area of European Cooperation Projects by March 31, 2022.
The main goal of the project is to implement a series of artistic works on the field of art and science, containing an element of innovation.

- Organizing, in your country, a meeting for all artists participating in the project.
- Organizing, in your country, an exhibition of works created as part of the task.
- Participating in exhibitions and meetings organized by other partners.
