Innovative technologies’ applications landscape is an infinite, intangible and often mysterious domain. “Artscience”, bio-art, nano-design, interactive design, experience design, alternative energy, applications on the borders of design and science emergency design and tools, eco-materials, biodegradable plastic, health & security. Science and creativity, science for all, open sources… Sustainable development needs R&D. Scientific research needs innovation and imagination: an ideal bridge to foster cross-disciplinary exchanges and spread out scientific and technologies development.
Art, Fashion, Design, Graphic Design, Architecture, everybody is welcome to generate “(in)tangible scapes” for our next book.

Press release : 21 september.

A special thanks to paper producer Sappi, who is supporting the book with their 'Triple Green' paper.

Giovanna Massoni in collaboration with Imke Debecker developed the concept, the network and the editorial partners’ coordination. The Art Direction has been assured by the young and talented Marike Hechter, Addictlab South Africa labmember.


Addict & Imec partnership is also aimed to create a brand new international platform for applications and ideas of nanotechnologies in the design field. An international jury will select a winner for each application domain and announce it during a public event in 2009.
