In September 2016, CDV Nord hosted more than 100 hackers, coders and thinkers to work with all kinds of cultural data. A series of renown organizations (Archeological Museum of Hamburg, the Museum of Work in Hamburg, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (MKG) and the National and University Library Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky, the KENOM-Project, the Swedish National Museum, University of Kiel and the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial) provided access to their data. Since the kick-off weekend, 16 teams have been working on 23 data sets – audience data, archive or research material of different shape.

A long term goal of the Open Knowledge Foundation and Code für Hamburg is to promote free access to cultural data for the social benefit.

On November 6th, 2016, the teams will present their projects to an expert jury of Stephan Barthomei (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek), Marco Maas (x minutes), Luise Overgaard (Dokk 1, Bibliothek in Aarhus, Vorstand Coding Pirates Dänemark), Nina Dreier (Kulturbehörde), Prof. Frank Steinicke (Uni Hamburg, Human-Computer Interaction, Informatik) and our curator Alexandra Waligorski.

In August 2016, the 4 day festival invited artists to host workshops that shared artistic practices to creatively approach digitization of daily life in the urban space. In seven workshops in the neighborhood of St. Pauli,  the international artists explained concrete strategies for handling surveillance, analog and digital technologies and a smartening environment.

Mika Satomi and her participants created smart fashion items and developed a ritualistic performance to consciously upload and handle personal data collection. Jeremy Bailey launched the first edition of this project LEAN ARTIST – The World’s first Seed Accellerator for Artists and invited 10 artist to give a startup shape to their critical artistic projects. Together with young artists and citizens of Hamburg, Adam Harvey discussed campaigns to create awareness for urban surveillance.

Claudius Schulze, photographer and inventor, co-created an online platform to share ideas for the alternative use of long neglected areas in the Hamburg port. Kati Hyyppä and a group of bicycle enthusiast turned their bikes into analog seismographs to measure the physical impact of the Hamburg streets on our body.

Jessica Broscheit invited a group of participants to design prototypes for the own, personal air pollution sensors and masks. And finally, Benjamin van Bebber and Filomena Krause invited the young citizens of Hamburg to a workshop to digitally and acoustically map the city of Hamburg and redesign a soundscape that actually sounds fun.
