Now they want to ban it.” you’re invited to help young people push back against digital restrictions and invent a better online world using creative, technical and artistic tools. The participants aged 11 to 18 will develop their own projects during a creative hackathon and afterward, their creations will be showcased in a public exhibition.

Der Hintergrund

Was ist display?

display ist der neue Raum für digitale Praxis im Zentrum Frankfurts. Als Schaufenster, interdisziplinärer und intergenerationeller Treffpunkt und offener Experimentierraum fördert er die kreative, kritische und praktische Auseinandersetzung mit Technologie.

Er ist Anlaufstelle für informelles und Community-basiertes Lernen und praktische wie politische Fragen rund um die digitale Transformation. Der Raum verbindet Wissen, Ressourcen und Menschen – und vernetzt Akteur*innen der digitalen Zivilgesellschaft und Menschen aus Frankfurt, um voneinander zu lernen für eine gemeinwohlorientierte Digitalisierung in Gesellschaft und Stadt.

Der Raum kartiert, teilt und vermittelt Werkzeuge, Projekte und Methoden zur digitalen Selbstermächtigung, öffnet digitale Black-Boxen und macht Wissen zugänglich. 

display soll durch Akteur*innen der Frankfurter Digital-Community mitgestaltet und bespielt werden und so zu einem Verstärker für Frankfurter Projekte und Expert*innen und einem Interface zur Stadtgesellschaft werden.

Das zukünftige Programm von display umfasst Workshop-Angebote, Vorträge und Ausstellungen rund um digitale Technologien, wie bspw. Creative Coding, DIY-Methoden, digital-künstlerische Praxis oder Open Source Strategien. Dabei versuchen die Angebote fachliche Themen möglichst niedrigschwellig zu vermitteln.

Die Eröffnung ist im Februar 2026 geplant.

Background Info

What is display?

display is the new space for digital practice in the center of Frankfurt. As a screen, interdisciplinary and intergenerational meeting place, and open experimental space, it promotes creative, critical, and practical engagement with technology.

It is a hub for informal and community-based learning and practical and political questions surrounding digital transformation. The space connects knowledge, resources, and people—and networks actors from digital civil society and people from Frankfurt to learn from each other for the common good of digitalization in society and the city.

The space maps, shares, and communicates tools, projects, and methods for digital self-empowerment, opens digital black boxes, and makes knowledge accessible.

display is to be co-designed and used by actors from Frankfurt’s digital community, thus becoming an amplifier for Frankfurt projects and experts and an interface to urban society.

The future program of display includes workshops, lectures, and exhibitions on digital technologies, such as creative coding, DIY methods, digital artistic practice, and open source strategies. The aim is to make technical topics as accessible as possible.

The opening is planned for February 2026.

NODE started as an analog gathering of an internationally distributed community of creative coders and developers of the visual programming language vvvv, turning into an organization for more holistic political, cultural, artistic, informatic and digital media discourses and education. NODE runs a festival for digital arts and creative technologies called NODE Forum for Digital Arts.

Together with international media artists, we develop workshop and other project formats for young people that invite them to critically and creatively take apart or reinvent technologies.

Basic Requirements:

To become a mentor, you should be 19 years or older, have coding skills, and enjoy working with teens aged 12 to 18. If you have experience in this area, it’s a plus! Additionally, while most activities in the programming world happen in English, good German skills are advantageous, as many participants do not speak English fluently (yet). Additionally, you need a current extended police clearance certificate. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll guide you through the process and let you know everything you need to know and do. More info in German here.

Programming Skills:

The goal is to provide participants with a wide range of support. That’s why we’re looking for a group of mentors with diverse skill sets and experiences in programming, creating a friendly and supportive environment for everyone involved. But you don’t have to be a pro in all things coding – everyone’s there to help each other out.

It’s very important to us to enable everyone to participate. Therefore, feel free to contact us at ffm@jugendhackt.org if there are any restrictions or obstacles for you regarding the event. We are more than happy to work together to find a solution.

What you get from us:

In return for your voluntary work, we offer you:

  • a free pedagogical-didactic training as part of the mentor briefing
  • networking opportunities with other developers and creative coders from all over Germany
  • a fantastic atmosphere, lots of experience, and the participants’ grateful smiles
  • little sleep
  • plenty of mate (the caffeinated soft drink)
  • eternal gratitude from the teams of NODE, the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, and mediale pfade

NODE runs a festival for digital arts and creative technologies called NODE Forum for Digital Arts. The 6th edition of the Frankfurt festival was dedicated to the ecological dimension of new technologies and their use in art, the creative industries and design. The festival invites an international audience of professionals, artists and coders as well as an intergenerational general audience to critically examine their use of technologies, their professional practice and question the status quo of their industries.

DIGITALE WELTEN ist ein Zusammenschluss aus dem NODE Verein zur Förderung Digitaler Kultur e.V., dem Kommunalen Jugendbildungswerk/Jugend- und Sozialamt der Stadt Frankfurt und dem Institut für Kunstpädagogik/Schwerpunkt Visuelle Kultur der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt sowie weiterer Partner*innen aus den Bereichen Technologie, Kultur und Bildung.

Wir konzipieren und organisieren Formate für Jugendliche und Erwachsene, die sich kritisch und kreativ mit digitalen Technologien und ihrer Bedeutung für Gesellschaft und Kultur auseinandersetzen wollen. Das praktische Arbeiten mit Technologien – egal ob analog, digital oder analogital, high-tech oder low-tech, Hardware und/oder Software – sowie das kritische Denken beim/im Machen stehen dabei im Vordergrund.

Im September/Oktober 2019 möchten wir zum dritten Mal das Jugendmedienkunstfestival DIGITALE WELTEN ausrichten. Hier sollen Medienkünstler*innen und kreative Technologie-Expert*innen in dreitägigen Workshops mit Jugendlichen im Alter zwischen 12 und 21 Jahren gemeinsam zu einem Thema arbeiten – in diesem Jahr: GLÜCK.
Am Ende entsteht eine Ausstellung, die alle Workshop-Ergebnisse präsentiert und für eine breite Öffentlichkeit zugänglich macht.

Wir suchen engagierte Studierende, die Lust haben, sich unserem Team bei Forschung und Umsetzung von Projekten im Herbst 2019 und bei Interesse auch darüber hinaus anzuschließen.
