How can we bring to light the stories that are hidden inside other people? How can we show a group’s diversity, richness and uniqueness? How can meetings with a person inspire projects, exhibitions, educational programmes? Artist and researcher Stratis Vogiatzis, one of the creators of the five-year project Caravan (Greece) – a travelling tent/performative space – will discuss these questions, and his own experiences.

The New York Times is setting the trend when it comes to digital storytelling. What’s the recipe for success in creating online content? How can we tell a story in a captivating way? How do we reach the audience? A workshop for journalists, digital artists and web designers will be led by Rodrigo de Benito Sanz, a media designer and developer at the Times.

Today, as digital narratives have developed, interactive fiction, narrative design and game design all have armouries of sophisticated techniques. But some of the most interesting projects of the last decade have come out of the overlap between these related fields - using mechanical underpinnings to add emotional heft to an interactive narrative, rather than just just layering story on game.

This meeting is targeted at representatives of cultural institutions, scholars and students working in the area of digital humanities, IT, software developers, collectors and all people interested in the application of new technologies in culture and science.

In this workshop we will explore and outline how best to approach a pitch. You will discover what publishers and investors expect from your pitch, and how to increase your chances of success in securing funds for your project.

If you’re interested in digital culture but don’t have experience with code, this workshop is a way to become familiar with it.

During a practical introduction to coding, you’ll get a feeling for how code is becoming a material for designers. Join us to seek an answer to the question of what generativity is. We’ll also ask a few more: about the consequences of generativity and the potential of the practices associated with it.

Participants in this two-hour workshop will learn how to start and develop Open GLAM projects – based on making an institution’s digital resources available in an open way – and how users of digital content can become co-creators and partners of the institution.
