Conference
For the second time, the Media Architecture Biennale featured an academic conference in collaboration with ACM. The conference had a large number of talks and three different paper sessions based on 13 rigorously peer-reviewed academic papers.
The biennale’s conference track features talks and paper presentations – and a chance to connect with a great audience. (Photo: Media Architecture Biennale / Rasmus Steengaard)
