Since the onset of CoVid19, there have been many ad-hoc solutions and experimental strategies within the cultural sector to compensate for temporary closures and financial losses. Providers of high-quality cultural programs, contemporary art spaces, festivals and self-organized collectives, are rapidly coordinating digital exhibition spaces, live streams and online debates, serving their existing (offline and local) and new (online and global) audiences. Sometimes simultaneously, in a hybrid event; with a limited live audience and an unlimited number of online visitors.
The SMEs that are central to this research need to develop a long-term vision on off/online knowledge sharing of their cultural programming and activities. Far-reaching digitization and climate considerations, in addition to corona, give urgency to a vision of hybrid programming. The research develops working principles for a long-term vision of a hybrid and high-quality program offering with a view to serving new and existing audiences, even post-pandemic, through participatory livecasts of events, their coherent reporting through publications that will eventually be published in living archives to come.
The project will comprise three working groups: ‘Participatory Livecasting’, ‘Hybrid Publications’ and ‘Living Archives. Each group brings program providers, self-organized collectives of freelancers in the cultural and creative industry, researchers, developers and designers to work on a specific project.
Participatory Livecasting: To prevent zoom fatigue this working group develops working principles for participatory livecasting. The group with experiment with methods to evoke a joint audience experience during a live cast, where ‘connectedness’ does not have to be just physical ‘being together in a room’.
- In what ways can livecasting lead to working principles for a hybrid and high-quality cultural offer to realize that its providers offer enough autonomy in programming?
Hybrid Publications: This working group develops working principles for hybrid publications, to achieve coherence in off/online program offerings. Experimental, multimedia, hybrid publications will give substance to ‘publishing’ and quality assurance of a hybrid, high-quality cultural offer will be central.
- In what ways can hybrid publishing lead to working principles to disseminate a hybrid and high-quality cultural offer to diverse audiences?
Living Archives: This working group’s primary aim is to develop an anticipatory archiving strategy of online events as well as the inclusion or digitization of existing digital material. User-friendly and navigable archives not only provide insight into a high-quality cultural offer in the short term, but also make it possible to respond to the (renewed) relevance of material in the medium to long term.
- In what ways can easily navigable living archives lead to working principles for opening up a hybrid and high-quality cultural offer and mobilizing the public around it?
