In April 1999, cym started to transfer real spaces into the virtual to explore the relationship between real and virtual dimensions. In 2001, the 'virtual Pekarna' was created - a virtual re-construction of the artspace in maribor with the possibility of remote interaction. A performance experimented with the connection between the virtual and the real environment. In Februar 2003, the virtual reconstruction of Forum Stadtpark Graz was launched with a performance at Forum Stadtpark.

Now this two virtual spaces will be connected, thus generating a 'Third Space', which is abstract, a new dimension transgressing the two single virtual spaces. Main focus of the workshop is exploring the possibilities of communication in this new dimension. On one hand, the technical possibilities will be tested, on the other hand the political, social and cultural impact of this dimension will be explored.
What will happen, when the real and the virtual meet? Are there differences between this dimensions? Where is the difference? And what actions can result out of this new, third space?
