Day 1 will look into the fuzzy boarders between public/private, individual/community, online democracy and engagement. The working title for day 1 is "Open data is nothing without a narrative". We ask our selves who is the hero, who is the villain on the dramatic curve that takes place on multiple platforms.
Day 2 is a co-arrangement together with The Nordic Culture Fund and is dedicated to the Fund´s upcoming DKK 3 million grant for “DIGITAL 2015-2016” to boost Nordic digital arts and culture. The focus is on Digital Arts production and dissemination, ideas, consultation and match-making.
