Web 2.0 Generation
Connecting innovation, business and art

Creative industries, knowledge economy, innovative business models and the growing need for socially and environmentally aware technologies are changing the meaning of creativity and art. For some time now art is not limited to the galleries and it is not a work of one men but involves millions of users that upload, annotate and share different content via Internet. Increasingly, art is also a part of an ongoing dialogue between business and innovation. Web 2.0 is this territory where creativity meets innovation and where new technologies and entrepreneurship merge with culture and art. On line projects and installations present different aspects of this phenomena, from social networking to attempts to visualize the Web 2.0 universe, from business to philanthropy apps, from artistic parodies to explorations of new interfaces and to experiments with the so called mashups.
