ARTE e ATTIVISMO – Transmedia Art: etica proattiva ed investigazione di
tecnologie emergenti

The term "transmedia" applied to activism invites us to reflect on the
participatory dynamics for civic action present in Digital Communication.
What would happen if we also applied creativity to social mobilization? We
would need to review inspiring examples of multiplatform practices from
Popular Culture Memetics to Experiential Marketing, Immersive Journalism or
Media Art. Adopting Intermediality as a starting point, in this conference
we will pay special attention to the growing role of User Generated Content
(UGC), by allowing both new formulas to access information and attractive
visualization strategies for the data obtained. Collaborative practices
tend to facilitate an approach to phenomena invisible to traditional media,
allowing greater awareness and even direct intervention on reality itself.
We will reflect on the role of information as content and a means of
creative expression through the activation of transmedia interventions that
include immersive installations, virtual and augmented reality
environments, hacker operations, gamification or collective performances. A
series of guerrilla actions, significant in terms of media innovation,
which also contribute to the redefinition of the concept of activism and
citizen participation in the third decade of the 21st century.
