>The main aims of Z-node are to explore the collaborative potentials

>sustainability and to focus on the impact of technology, 
>communication and electronic innovations on society.

>The artists-in-labs program provides artists with long-term

>interpretations from their experiences. It is an on-going residency 
>program, which also perpetrates trans-disciplinary comparisons

>I hope these can generate further discussion in the future-as the 
>research in both these programs are evolving processes based on very 
>particular contexts.
