Public Art Lab is co-producer of the Upgrade! International festival in Skopje / Macedonia 2008. On this occasion, we will once more present the Mobicases , mobile documentary units, as a tool for sampling and documenting the festival.

The Mobile Studios project was presented at many conferences throughout the last year, among them the Europe Asia Satellite Meeting in China, the mobile.home Conference in Helsinki or the Kultur MACHT Europa- Conference in Berlin. During the 'European Year of Workers' Mobility' the project was featured as one of the best mobile projects by the Fondazione Fitzcarraldo.

Public Art Lab (PAL) realises international nomadic art projects which create artistic processes and public awareness in temporary urban settings. Thus nomadic communities like Mobile Studios (2006) and Mobile Museums (2004) provide the opportunity for local audiences to participate and experience their daily environment from a different perspective.
