Presentation of the "Culture and Digital Transformation" program

On April 21 at 12:00 noon, the "Culture and Digital Transformation" program was presented at the Joan Vinyoli Library in Santa Coloma de Farners.

The aim of this new project is to incorporate tools that respond to the digital transformation difficulties faced by the cultural-creative sector, especially in rural areas outside the usual circuit of formal innovation spaces digital and technological.

According to its organizers, "the program includes a training itinerary that will make available different resources to facilitate the digitization of the cultural-creative sector and the promotion of innovation laboratories based primarily on the use and application of algorithms artificial intelligence for creative purposes, aimed at the creation of large-format mapping shows".
Different resources will be made available to facilitate the digitization of the sector through a program of workshops, conferences, technical sessions and visits to projects to provide tools for integrating the digital field in the different phases of the process cultural (creation, communication and management). The program proposes a practical process of co-creation and networking.

Digital innovation laboratories linked to the territory and execution of mappings

On the other hand, co-creation laboratories will be carried out in the field of new technologies and culture to promote new work methodologies that make up for the territorial lack of spaces and equipment for experimentation and digital co-creation. These laboratories will be held in the municipalities of Amer, Sant Hilari and Maçanet de la Selva.

All the participants will work with different digital tools and produce a mapping (a large-format audiovisual show that will be projected onto the facade of a municipal facility). The laboratory will have the participation of trainers and will be adapted to the level of the participants.

As for the recipients of this course, they are people linked to the performing and musical arts, entities linked to popular and traditional culture, technicians and councilors, emerging talents with skills in research and technological innovation applied to different sectors such as companies, professionals, students from educational centers, etc...
