B3 and Mediamatic are organizing a 5-day workshop about audiovisual projects for current digital media.
The workshop participants use their own footage and ideas to design and prototype a project for the media blend of their choice. The workshop is very hands -on- all participants are assisted personally in realizing their projects by smart technical assistants and far-sighted coaches. Workshop approach: The workshop has an intense pressure-cooker style in which the participants get a view on current cultural and technical developments in digital media: from podcasting to streaming media, from participatory web 2.0 projects to the various uses of mobile phones. All participants design their own projects, discuss it with peers and experienced trainers and build their own working prototype. The workshop begins with an opening symposium, where renowned makers deliver their views on workshop related topics and present their projects. All following workshop sessions take place at the inspiring B3 premises. Workshop results will be presented and discussed at ICA again.
