EMAF INIT was the newcomer section of European Media Art Festival. Between 2016-2018 the team transformed the section "Media Campus" into INIT (short form for initialize). With a new concept and program, INIT presented contemporary works in the fields of media art, interaction design, film, lectures and performances. In several locations, EMAF INIT strived to unite young creative minds.
