Abstract:
This paper presents the work done at the NT2 lab (UQAM) designing a digital ecosystem specialized in research on contemporary imagination and digital culture. The very first Research and Knowledge Environment (RKE) was put online in 2005, specializing in Hypermedia Art and Literature. That experience led the NT2 Lab and the Figura Research Center to join their forces to build and promote the Observatory on Contemporary Imagination at the core of a research-based digital ecosystem.
