DIALOG CITY
CITIZEN ARCHIVE PLATFORM (CAP) LAUNCHED




THE SECOND HYBRID FESTIVAL OF DIALOG CITY TOOK PLACE FROM JUNE 6 TO 8 IN GRAZ

Over three days, we explored the topics of Personal Digital Archiving (PDA) and
Futures Literacy in various event formats at the Graz Museum and Graz City
Archives. On the first day of the festival, the exhibition “Beyond the Hard
Drive – How Do My Digital Data Reach the Future” was opened as part of the
festival launch. The exhibition focuses on Personal Digital Archiving and can be
further visited at the Graz City Archives. 

On the second day of the festival, the workshop “Can We Be Active Participants
in the Future that Surrounds Us? – Futures Literacy” took place. Participants
delved into the importance of future literacy in the present. Elke Höfler’s
lecture followed this theme in the evening. 

Additionally, there was a presentation on data security online and offline by
Nina Hoffer (nowa) and Andreas Zingerle (mur.at), as well as a talk on “Being
Digital: Safe and Self-Determined on the Internet” by Edith Simöl
(digitaleSenior:innen). 

The highlight of the festival was the presentation of the Citizen Archive
Platform on Friday evening. The platform, which facilitates individuals to
submit their digital data to archives, was available for visitors to try out
on-site. 

On Saturday, participants had the opportunity to learn about digital archiving
through a game workshop. Together, we played the board game “Preservia” and
answered questions about data formats, data security, and Personal Digital
Archiving.

DIALOG CITY
ART FOR PUBLIC RESIDENCY




FIRST HYBRID FESTIVAL IN MONDOVÌ, ITALY

News From Home is an ongoing project by the artist duo Anne Fehres and Luke
Conroy, capturing overlooked stories from communities. The 10th edition of this
project took place during a 4 week artist-residency in Mondovì, Italy.

The outcome of this research and image collection was the creation of a
large-scale 6×2 metre photographic composition. This work was presented on a
wall in public space during the Hybrid Festival in Mondovì from July 20 — July
22. The final composition consists of almost one thousand individual elements,
inspired by the multi-layered identity of Mondovì. 

These layers present a diversity of perspectives on Mondovì and include such
elements as children’s drawings, historical images, photography of daily life
submitted by the community, graffiti scratched into walls around the city and
spontaneous staged portraits in the streets. Through this collision of diverse
layers, the work celebrates Mondovì as a place where elements of the past,
modern reality and future dreams constantly overlap, inviting the audience to
consider diverse narratives from both a local and global perspective.

Anne Fehres (The Netherlands) and Luke Conroy (Australia) are a
multidisciplinary, research-oriented artist duo currently based in The
Netherlands. Their practice engages with sociocultural topics in meaningful yet
playful ways, utilising humour and irony as essential tools for critical
reflection and expression.


Place & Date Piazza Belvedere, Mondovì, Italy




QUIZ RACE
ENGINEERING CONFERENCE


(c) Annette Hornischer, 2022


ORGANISED BY IG METALL LABOUR UNION AND HANS-BÖCKLER-STIFTUNG

OPENING EVENT OF THE CONFERENCE
14 SEPT 22 IN INGOLSTADT

Mobility is an essential part of human development. The complexity and scale of
modern locomotion are immense and a real challenge for our societies. In near
future, we must move in a climate-neutral and sustainable manner without
excluding people or forcing parts of the world to stand still. In a nutshell:
it’s about fair and inclusive mobility for everyone in harmony with nature.

The LABOURGAMES team was commissioned by the Hans-Böckler-Foundation to organize
the opening evening with a large group game. We decided on a quiz evening on
future mobility issues combined with an RC car competition for 300 people.

DIALOG CITY
UNCONFERENCE

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS
A DIGITAL CULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN EUROPEAN CITIES

HOSTED BY TU ASCHAFFENBURG – UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE BAVARIAN MINISTER OF STATE FOR DIGITAL,
MS. JUDITH GERLACH

In recent years, the term Smart City has become deeply embedded in our language
and thought patterns. It means a digitized city that uses technology to collect
data, control processes and offer services. This ranges from electronic
administration via self-driving public transport to smart solutions for building
management. Almost every area that is data-intensive can be recorded, analysed
and optimized accordingly.

The European-funded project DIALOG CITY was born out of the conviction that
digital transformation is more of a mindset rather than a purely technical
innovation.

The overall goal of DIALOG CITY is to create a socially inclusive,
environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable urban digital
environment. By developing new practices on how to connect digital innovation
directly to citizens’ physical participation, DIALOG CITY aims at contributing
to increase access to culture through a dialogical approach. Participation is at
the core of our project idea encompassing a CITIZEN ARCHIVE PLATFORM for the
cultural heritage sector and an innovative design thinking toolkit on FUTURE
LITERACY. Three HYBRID FESTIVALS serve as physical and digital cultural
platforms to reach diverse audiences in five European countries. An ART FOR
PUBLIC residency programme invites artists to develop ideas for urban
interventions dealing with local or global topics that are of great significance
for the respective urban society based on participatory approach.

DIALOG CITY kicked off with a one-day UNCONFERENCE based on an open space format
approach. European project partners invite external experts, artists,
stakeholders, decision-makers and the interested public to discuss topics such
as participation, digitisation, urban development, art and public, future
literacy, personal digital archiving and digital rights.

The artistic coordinator of the DIALOG CITY project is Stefan Horn, CEO of urban
dialogues.

A TWO-CHANNEL VIDEO INSTALLATION
BY STEFAN HORN AND MARK STRAECK

As part of the AlanAlaine project, the two artists from urban dialogues
accompanied the process of the project workshops over the course of 2022.

AlanAlaine is a project initiated by the cultural centre Pavilion in Hanover in
cooperation with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

A database comprised of opinions, topics and facts was created which is based on
the minutes from the workshops about gender relations. These logs served again
as the basis for creating an AI, a ChatBot that grew by using machine learning.

The video and light installation consists of eight discs of fabric that appear
to be floating in space, which serve as projection surfaces for a wide variety
of mosaic structures.

It adapts to the spatial situation in the foyer of the Hannover Pavilion and
takes up the construct of a neural network with a variety of media transitions
and material interferences.




Place & Date Pavillon Hanover 28 August 2022



FROM THE INVISIBLE
TO THE VISIBLE


(c) Diego Ferrari 2022

London-based artist Diego Ferrari is invited to take part in an
Artist-in-Residency programme from 14 – 29 April 2022 by the Wolwedans
Foundation.

urban dialogues is a collaborating partner in terms of selecting the artists and
curating the programme which is part of Wolwedans Vision 2030 – The AridEden
Project.

Wolwedans Foundation’s aim is to soon be entirely plastic-free. Yet plastic
remains everywhere in our daily lives. Here it becomes a shroud, a carapace, a
cape, its out-of-place-ness accentuating the foreignness of plastic in the
natural NamibRand landscape.

CONSTRUCTIONS
OF WE AND I




A LABORATORY FOR RESEARCHING, ENDURING AND PERFORMING
THE INTERCONNECTIONS AND INTERFERENCES OF COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUALITY

In an experimental theatre approach, young people aged 15 to 27 ask themselves
how people’s self interests can be brought together  with those of our society –
without conflict. 

To do so, they make use of an empty workspace, allocated to them, in
Berlin-Moabit for the period of one year and transform it into a lab.

They dig their way through the WE AND I: How do We and I enrich themselves?
When do they get in each other’s way while they go deeper down the road?
Which artistic formats can be found for this?

And finally – how will those CONSTRUCTIONS OF WE AND I find a performative
output? As a radio station? A hockey field? Or a call box? Endless options to be
explored.

The project is part of the WIR!Filialen of S27- Art and Education, a
Berlin-based art lab for young people who want to change the world.

Wir!Filialen is funded by Stiftung Deutsche Jugendmarke e.V., Der Paritätische
Berlin and Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie

BLAME!GAME
IT'S ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT




Everything started with a Game Jam in December 2020. Since then we have been
working on the development of a board game that specifically deals with climate
change – in cooperation with students from the Evangelische Schule Zentrum in
Berlin. 

Blame!Game has now been presented as part of the House of World
Cultures’ ‘Schools of Tomorrow’ program.

It is designed for 2-7 players who slip into different roles by drawing a card
and being given an ice cube. Now everyone tries to bring their own ice cube to
the goal on the playing field. At the same time, he or she does everything
possible to destroy each other’s ice cubes with various verbal and mechanical
attacks.

Slowly but surely the pieces are melting away …



Date and Place 18-19 November 2021 at House of World Cultures Berlin
