RADICAL
Mission
The RADICAL mission was to develop a digital seedbed for creative arts practice. The project, which was rated highly by the wider community and by the EC reviewers, closed at the end of 2002, but the publications, references and creative echoes it created are still going strong.
The two-year RADICAL PROJECT produced: three major international events, a number of new software prototypes for further development, a website, and publications providing guides to good practice in the fields of creativity for the IST programme. When the project closed it received top marks in review in early 2003, and the website was moved across to this SMARTlab site for permanent secure hosting.
