    The content of the project consisted of students’ reflections and answers to the following questions:” Is a painting always imagination and a photograph always truth?” ”How do image processing and artificial intelligence change the concept of truth in images? How and what do we learn about each other through images? What do we want to communicate through images? How strongly are images of Italians and Finns formed through everyday images and art?”
