"More and more cultural institutions and creators are initiating a digital transformation. To do this successfully, an institution also needs an environment that encourages and advances this fundamentally different way of working. ", said Maaike Verberk, director DEN. 

DEN is the Dutch driving force of digital transformation in the cultural sector. For some time, the organisation has been researching what is needed to enable the digital transition for all players in the field. In doing so, they also like to take input from artists, designers and programmers, preferably creators who regularly find themselves in digital spaces. 

During this first edition, the selection from the OPEN CALL applications will come together

Session 1: Between utopia and distopia: what does the digital generation need? 

DEN, together with other research agencies, has looked into different aspects and uses of digital spaces in arts and culture - for instance, how people interact in multimedia environments or how artists collaborate together. For this first session we want to map your wishes and needs from a makers' prespective. What do we want, and definetly don't, out of a shared digital space?
