Tec-Art-Eco

The three-year Interreg Tec-Art-Eco project is structured on a series of travelling cultural events within the Insubrica region focused on the role of new technologies applied to Art, Science, Communications and Environmental Sustainability.

Tec-Art-Eco offers three big interdisciplinary festivals (visual and performing arts, dance, theatre, music, design and architecture, photography, cinema, philosophy, literature and poetry, economy, experimental sciences and communication) correlated with productive labs, workshops and discussions with important artists and international researchers, aimed at creating a new generation of young artists and cultural operators who will have specific and innovative knowledge in the artistic and environmental fields.

Each year (2009, 2010, 2011) a fortnight-long festival will take place in one of the three partner locations (Lugano, Como, Varese).

Sustainability

The project also aims at founding a work team with the intention of elaborating, documenting and divulging a pilot-methodology for the organization of zero impact cultural events.

Art is used as a mean of discussing a wider aspect of technology’s environmental sustainability and as a way of valuing the Lugano-Como-Varese triangle, also touristic-wise. Sustainability is used as a mean of valuing new ways in the morphology of such a naturally-rich area.

Partners and Supporters

The project received a strong support by Regione Lombardia - Direzione generale Culture, Identità e Autonomie della Lombardia for the valorization and circulation of the accomplished results and avails itself of the precious collaboration of partners and supporters such as GAM - Galleria d’Arte Moderna (Gallarate), Conservatorio Verdi (Como), Associazione Lifework (Ispra), Associazione Proscaenium (Gallarate), DECS - Divisione Cultura Cantone Ticino, Dicastero Attività Culturali Città di Lugano, Dicastero Giovani ed Eventi Città di Lugano, Museo Cantonale d’Arte (Lugano), SUPSI - Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (Lugano), TI - Ticino Informatica, Firstflora.
