The economical and social changes had as a result a bit advance in the technology. In our days, a big number of artists, artistic groups or organizations make use of technological advances and create projects, which allow participants to interact with each other, communicate and express themselves. The projects are addressed to ‘publics’, while on the other hand the recipients of the projects and participants create through them a space for open dialogue and communication.’ Public space has been expanded and gained a virtual character, through the on-going possibility of wireless technology and complex art projects'. (Manovich, 2003) The new demand to embrace a wider ‘audience; as well the rationale of political and artistic expression through artistic projects, has reshaped the objective of designing in terms of technology, logistics and public space/ public sphere requirements.
Review 1
Abstract 001: Artistic Groups…
My Voting: ? Not very convincing
It started promising but the it did not become clear what is the new impact in this question about public sphere and advanced technology. I have the feeling, at best here we experience state of the art but nothing innovative. Also, I do not quite understand the relevance of deisgn in how the topic is approached. Neither did I become clear whether the paper addresses special case studies / examples, or focus a general discourse on the public and media (art) and technology.
I recommend to advise the person to specify his/her focus point and link it to the idea of research.

Research question ( )Significant ( X )Insignificant Comments:
Social and societal innovation is a key issue for our present world and the potential of wireless technology and artistic vision is probably relevant .But your Abstract is only descriptive and unclear.
As for now, there is no research question and no theoretical background.
If your context of research is on exploring the links between artists / design projects/ communication, researching on the value of “artistic vision “could be your research context. Then they are different paths to investigate value creation.
Questions such as:
-Do you want to research on co-design issues with the potential of wireless technology? (Theories and models on user oriented design)
-Do you want to research on the input of artistic vision and workshops as a means of making tangible our future? (Theories on foresight, perception, visualisation)
- Do you want to research on the potential of educating more publics about the idea of change towards virtual space and its technology potential? (Models in education science Theories on change)
-Do you want to research on improving and /or reinventing social links ?
-Another theory relevant could be the science of complexity
