Cultuur Lokaal
The Patchingzone is excited to announce its first pilot-project: Cultuur Lokaal.
Cultuur Lokaal is a collaboration between the Waterwolf laboratories (Haagse Hogeschool lectoraat Society and ICT by Dick Rijken and three cultural institutions in Gouda: Public Library Gouda, Regional archive Central-Holland, Museum GoudA) and The Patchingzone. The Sia-RAAK public programme funds Cultuur Lokaal. Working with professionals in the three cultural institutions we will investigate new opportunities for collaborations with (in)formal local networks. Other parties involved in the realisation of the project are VPRO, Brekend Vaatwerk, Erfgoed Nederland and Syntens. The physical location for the project workspace will be in Gouda. The execution of the project will be supported both financially and technologically.
As this project will serve as a pilot for future Patchingzone projects there will be no subscription or entry fee for students to this project!
For the Cultuur Lokaal project we are looking for a small group of dedicated and prolific Master / PhD students to work together for 6 months on the theme of ‘local identity and the connection between the physical and virtual environment’. We would like the result to be a well researched and documented, interactive urban experience. We will have the opportunity and the technological backup to work creatively with high-tech materials, digital media and information technology but use of technology is not a requirement in itself. It is what you do with it that counts. The final project will be presented during a special public summer event in Gouda in July or August 2008, and there will be an opportunity to present papers or documentation of the research in a professional symposium in the early summer of 2008. Extended deadline for applications November 1st, 2007, download the application form www.patchingzone.net
