Online Conference
State of the Arts: New formats & Audiences
1.11.2020
Part of the Freiraum Festival & Summit 2020 (30-31/10 & 1/11/2020)
In partnership with Goethe-Institut's Freiraum Platform
Under the auspices of the German Presidency of the EU
The online conference includes talks, discussions and specially conceived artistic interventions.
It is live-streamed from Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki, thanks to the mobile studio that we have developed, combining the possibilities of a small tv-studio and video-conference platform, set in the Freiraum mobile stage - a light installation/tool that has been designed to activate (public) spaces and communities, providing a common ground -a safe space - a Freiraum- for participatory performative and collective actions.
The live-stream explores new format possibilities to produce meaningful and engaging content for the online environment.
