During the workshop, which will kick off in the German capital on 20th February and run for a month, artists and programmers will create a common interactive installation. Their guiding theme will be archiving as a form of digital memory. The fruits of the workshop will be presented at the 4th International Independent Videogames Festival A MAZE/ Berlin.
As part of The Brain – Open Lab, the Polish Institute in Berlin’s gallery will also host a series of discussion panels on saving and storing data, building digital and virtual networks, using rational and emotional memories, the future of digital archives, and open knowledge.
The project’s curator is Thorsten S. Wiedemann, director of the A MAZE. festival.
