X-media Lab, Singapore
By Yogi Chopra | November 3, 2007
My project idea> experiment.in was selected at the X|MEDIA|LAB that was held in Singapore on September 28-30th. This years topic was Media Arts and R&D. The Lab gave me great exposure to international mentors each of which had their own experience in one of the best organisations in the world. Website > www.xmedialab.com
