The project establishes a theoretical framework for interartistic creativity and traces the work of 20th and 21st Century Italian artists across a variety of media, with particular attention to digital art. The project builds on the findings of an earlier AHRC networking grant: "Interdisciplinary Italy 1900-2015". It will run over forty months, starting in June 2015, and will promote a variety of initiatives and dedicated events for postgraduates and postdocs, academics, museum curators and schoolteachers, including an exhibition at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, and a series of one-day workshops with Italian musicians, writers, architects, and painters. It will also see the publication of two new interartistic cultural histories of 20th and 21st century Italy, one dedicated specifically to the digital age, a book providing a theoretical underpinning for interartistic research for a broader intellectual community and, of course, a series of articles.edit
