Creative Applications Network (CAN) is one of the leading blogs in the field of digital media, technology and art. NEXT Berlin 2012 speaker Filip Visnjic is not only editor-in-chief of CAN, but also an architect, teacher and organiser of the Belgrade-based Resonate festival, which highlights the role of technology in media and art.

In this short introductory talk during the ‘Looking East’ session at NEXT Berlin 2012, Visnjic explains why Eastern Europe and Belgrade particularly – with its eventful history – is the perfect place for this kind of festival.
