Meet S+T+ARTS Residency artist Joseph Hovadik who has embarked on a 6-months journey to investigate how to draw from the local context, engage the community and create innovative approaches that critically rethink the tourism industry’s ecological footprint in Cyprus, acting also as a paradigm for other areas of the Mediterranean.
With the support of CYENS Centre of Excellence and the regional partners, his project, “Cyprus Vital Signs” will search for a way in which tourists, citizens and public officials will be able to engage with the artwork on digital platforms, with their user engagement data reflected proactively in the artwork, in order to be incentivized to take part in more virtuous and sustainable activities.
In today’s visit he was welcomed by ITICA Lab and CYENS – Thinker Maker Space representatives.
This activity is part of S+T+ARTS – Repairing the Present Artist Residencies
