It is a work and meeting place for researchers and artists who use the advanced technical facilities for short and long-term projects. The center includes sound, video and artist studios, and venues for performances, concerts, installations, screenings, talks and seminars.
IAC aims to create a strong cross-disciplinary environment for artistic inquiry, development, production, and exchange.
