As part of the GROUND CONTROL exhibition in Venice, as many as 22 interactive projects created in vnLAB will be presented. This is the result of nearly 5 years of vnLab activity. During this time, through open calls, vnLab reached a very diverse group of artists - poets, filmmakers, dancers, art directors, theatre artists and all kinds of visual arts representatives. They were encouraged to submit projects on topics that were important to them and to seek out the best ways to express their feelings. A key role was played by the collaborative spirit among the participants, marked by the sharing of knowledge, points of view and innovative ideas of people with different artistic backgrounds and sensibilities.
