PERHAPS ALL THE DRAGONS – Horror Vacui [#3] – 2014 […in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage]

One round table with thirty seated screens at one side of the table and thirty audience seats at the other side. Thirty one-on-one narratives. The spectator can choose five he would like to see.

A famous pianist realizes on stage that she studied the wrong concerto – a neurosurgeon swaps head and body of two monkeys, they stay alive – in Japan there are 700 000 people living as hikikomori, withdrawn in their sleeping rooms for at least a year, away from social life – Six degrees of separation, a theory that everyone is six or fewer steps away from any other person in the world. A large array of dispersed stories will be offered to the audience. Berlin will encounter the people behind the little or great stories in international magazines, newspapers, specialized internet sites, youtube. The themes brought up in these stories will be eclectic: from a philosophic proposition, over a scientific detail, to an anecdote…

Thirty stories, transformed to thirty filmed monologues with a dramaturgy that gives them a certain coherence. The duration of each narrative will be exactly the same and multiple interactions will intervene at different moments. A one–on–one performance for 30 spectators, around one round table.PERHAPS ALL THE DRAGONS – Horror Vacui [#3] – 2014 […in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage]

Cultural Heritage: Reuse, Remake, Reimagine Berlin, (Germany), 21-22 November 2016

Cultural Heritage: Reuse, Remake, Reimagine |

from Digital meets Culture

After the nice success of previous events in Venice and in Tallinn, E-Space Third International Conference is taking place next november in Berlin, hosted by partner SPK at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum of Contemporary Art.

The themes will spread from the fact that digitization is progressing at Cultural Institutions, and thus previously hidden treasures of Cultural Heritage are becoming visible. However, in today’s digital society existing on the web is not enough. Audiences want to engage with culture, they want to create their own stories not just read the ones that exist, they want to integrate the information in their teaching, their creative projects, they want to play with the material, not only look at it: they want to reuse, they want to remake, they want to reimagine.

The programme is currently under development but at the moment it includes as keynote speakers two renowned experts: Cornelia Sollfrank, well-known new media artist and independent researcher, and Joyce Ray, digital curation and preservation expert and teacher at the Johns Hopkins University.

Together with Harry Verwayen from Europeana and the various project leaders who explored, within Europeana Space, the multifaceted experience of reusing digital cultural heritage, the third conference from the Europeana Space project will showcase the myriad ways that cultural heritage can be used and enriched through new technologies, innovation and the ingenuity of the creative industries.

Detailed programme, and registration will be soon available at: http://berlinconference2016.europeana-space.eu
