Let's talk Culture & Technology

Creative impulses for digital applications in art and culture.

How is technology changing culture? This year, several programmes are inviting creatives to initiate creative impulses for digital applications in art and culture in Vienna. The goal is to enhance and innovate offerings of cultural institutions and reach new target groups with the help of digital solutions.

Expertise

  • The Culture & Technology White Paper (PDF) provides inspiration for potential projects, and use cases show how digital technologies have already been utilised in the cultural sector.
  • The Culture & Technology Podcast is a virtual salon hosted by the Vienna Business Agency together with Severin Matusek. In it, curators, researchers, artists and cultural experts explore how digital technologies are shaping the future of cultural experiences and sparking new opportunities in the process.

  • The following technology reports of the Vienna Business Agency provide deeper insight into current technology trends: Data4Good (PDF), Enterprise Software (German), Blockchain (PDF), Open Source & Open Standards (PDF) and Visual Computing (PDF). They show best practice examples and provide an overview of the relevant players and initiatives.

Culture & Technology: Museum Focus

Culture & Technology: Museum Focus was a two-stage funding procedure that specifically supported the implementation of newly developed pilot applications in the museum sector and the implementation in cooperation with technology-oriented creative companies

  • Stage 1: Ideas competition 
  • Stage 2: Funding competition 

Ideas competition

The award-winning projects of our ideas competition Culture & Technology: Museum Focus have been selected. The 10 best digital concepts from Viennese museums received prize money of 5,000 euros each.

The Albertina, the Jewish Museum Vienna, the MAK, the Wien Museum (Museum of the City of Vienna), the Austrian Film Museum, the Austrian National Library - House of Austrian History, the Sigmund Freud Museum, the Vienna Museum of Technology and the ZOOM Children's Museum convinced the jury with their concepts. The ideas ranged from participatory approaches to co-creating the museum programme with the help of AI and the blockchain, new inclusive access to collections and archives, to AR applications that turn the city into a museum.

These are the award-winning projects (PDF)

Funding competition

The second stage of this funding opportunity was aimed at further developing the ideas into concrete projects. The winning projects will be announced shortly.

Networking: Creative Days Vienna 2022

On 1 and 2 June, creative minds from around the world met in Vienna for the Creative Days Vienna 2022. In a variety of talks, experiences and networking sessions we offer space for knowledge transfer, cooperation and open discussion and invite curators, researchers, artists and cultural experts to explore the impacts of current technological and social developments on the creative industries and the city.
