Digital Cultural Learning: Traversing Networks and Activating the Archive
by Florian Wiencek
Abstract:
The idea of the network is central for our information society. From the Internet, over archives to knowledge: all can be perceived and analyzed as networks.
In my talk I will explore the idea of the network in these different areas and will discuss how it can be employed for cultural learning. Therefore I am departing from the concepts of Connectivism (George Siemens) and “Critical Mediation of Art” (Carmen Mörsch) and will discuss examples of the use of digital media for cultural learning and co-creative knowledge generation, in order to meet the challenges, which participatory culture presents for cultural institutions.
