The term “New Media Art” emerged in the 1990s following a wave of artists using the latest technologies in their works, such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, and video games. New Media Art focuses on the interaction between the artist, the viewer and the artwork which responds to them. These new technologies transformed the way artists thought about the role of the art institution in the physical space and the virtual space.

The idea of Danish design revolves around the “Hygge” concept. This term doesn’t have a proper translation in other languages (unlike the “Lagom” concept, which means “just right”), but it can be described as: “the will of creating a cosy, pleasant and intimate atmosphere in which you can enjoy the pleasures of life surrounded by the people you love”. This concept reflects on the Scandinavian idea of design.

The essence of Scandinavian design can be described as "to feel and to live before drawing or creating something". It has three main characteristics: essentiality, brightness, nature & wood. Everything revolves around the concept of "Lagom", which embodies the spirit & meaning of design in Sweden: moderation & "the right quantity", no excesses or superfluous things. Just the essential.
