Abstract :
Infinite Infants is a three year transdisciplinary practice based research project exploring the potential for networked, sustainable ICT resources for children. The research is an inquiry into the potential for collaborative learning via telematic spaces, by exploiting the qualities that digital media affords, such as non-linearity, tele-presence and interactivity. The term ´telematic´ has broad connotations, in this instance it refers to the use of communication technologies to enable social interaction, bringing one space into another and analyzing the practices that emerge from this connectivity
