Digitale Technologien verändern unsere Alltagskultur auf vielfältige Weise. Wir leben mitten im postdigitalen Zeitalter. Das Netz ist allgegenwärtig, auch und gerade in Kunst und Kultur. Digitale Künste, angefangen von Remix und GIFs, über Netzkunst, bis zu Virtual Reality oder interaktiven Textadventures, kreativer Aktivismus oder kulturpolitische Fragen der Weichenstellung: das alles wollen wir mit euch auch auf der re:publica diskutieren. Oder gleich Prototypen bauen!

Welche Rolle spielen Museen und Ausstellungsorte heute? Wie können Bibliotheken dazu beitragen, die digitale Kluft zu überwinden? Wie verändert sich der Vertrieb und Konsum von Musik und anderen Medien? Können neue medial-künstlerische Werkzeuge und Formate den Wunsch auf Teilhabe erfüllen und das tatsächliche Eintauchen in gesellschaftsrelevante Themen möglich machen? Was passiert im Bereich VR und welche Folge hat das für uns, die Gesellschaft?

In diesem Schnittstellentrack sind eure literarischen Botprojekte ebenso herzlich willkommen wie kulturwissenschaftliche Betrachtungen der Twittersphäre oder gar ein ganzes Theaterstück. Open-Culture-Ansätze in Kulturinstitutionen, die Nutzbarmachung von Archiven und genauso das Zusammendenken von FabLabs und schönen Künsten interessieren uns brennend. Wir möchten hier offene Ansätze in kulturellen Institutionen, die Öffnung von Archiven, kreativen Aktivismus sowie Kooperationen zwischen Makerszene, Programmierern und Künstlern diskutieren.

Wir freuen uns auf eure Projekte, Ideen und Themen rund um den Themenkomplex Arts & Culture und sind gespannt, welche Arten der Erfahrungen wir uns durch neue Technologien zukünftig erschließen können.

    Accessible 3D-print is here and available, yet the industrial revolution that was announced with it hasn’t taken place as we expected. How come? Changing the way we do things requires more than just having new technical possibilities at hand. Experts and users in each field have to discover the new applications in their own specific areas and convince themselves to take the leap and innovate, which requires openminded, courageous creativity.

    Street Art is often unfairly relegated to the realm of the criminal and only recognized as a means of illegal, criminal, vandalistic artistic expression. This conceptualization is unfortunate because Street Art SHOULD be acknowledged as a legitimate art form and pillar of global creative culture.

    CANVASxDetroit's BOUNDLESS Street Art installation offers everyone an opportunity to learn + fully engage in the creative process. Each participant will be able to contribute to the Street Art canvas.

    In order for art to achieve maximum social impact, artists + government officials + corporations + non-profit organizations must work intelligently + collaboratively to envision + execute meaningful, accessible creative engagement opportunities that benefit ALL.
    This session brings together key Detroit shareholders and international perspectives with the aim of identifying public barriers to art, collectively mitigating those factors, and creating solutions to improve art access/impact.

    “Limbo; or Existing Between the Lines” is a collaborative presentation by Claudia Owusu and Kuukua Eshun exploring the complexities of home and the many forms it takes for a child in the African diaspora. Through the short films “How Did Home Receive You?” (2018) and “Artist, Act of Love” (2019), Eshun and Owusu take on themes of solitude, heartbreak, and loneliness to question what it means to pledge allegiance to a nation, a person, a point in time, or the self.

    Since the 67 Uprising, the divides that separate Metro Detroit have significantly expanded. In recognition, the Detroit Historical Society launched Detroit 67. The Society collected the personal narratives of 500 Detroiters which became the backbone of the project. The exhibit, propelled by new levels of public engagement, embraced novel technology, digital avenues, and focused heavily on free web-based deliverables. This expanded commitment to accessible history was paramount to its success.
