Open Up
Workshop: Projects for the digital facade of Medialab-Prado
February 9
- 23, 2010
Venue: Medialab-Prado
in Madrid (Spain)
Open Up has just
started! About 70 artists, designers, architects, programmers and many
other interested people from all over the world are already working in
this exciting workshop to create contents for the first digital facade
for artistic purposes of Madrid, a 150m2 and 27.000 LEDs
(pixels) screen.
In this event 7
projects selected through an international open call will be collaboratively developed within this next 2
weeks.
The goal of this project production workshop is to explore the
relationship with the urban space by opening production processes
through different citizen participation strategies. Selected projects
are being developed with the aid of tutors and technical assistants
such as Jordi
Claramonte, Chandler McWilliams, Casey Reas, Víctor
Viña, Chris
Sugrue and Massimo Avvisati.
The programme includes theoretical activities on February 9,
10 and
16, with lectures by tutors and lecturers such as Erkki
Huhtamo and Jennifer
Steimkamp. You can follow all lectures and project presentations
through live streaming.
We have just created a new experience to document the process through a
blog to spread the contents generated during the workshop, using
social networks, video platforms, feeds, microblogging, etc. (http://www.medianeralab.es/blog).
