RAAK-SIA: Go Hybrid!
Researching participative livecasting
How can we develop a sustainable, technologically innovative and coherent long-term vision for hybrid cultural events? IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] is part of the research project Go Hybrid!, initiated by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. Other cultural partners include: Framer Framed (Amsterdam), MU (Eindhoven), The Hmm (Amsterdam), Hackers&Designers (Amsterdam) and Varia (Rotterdam). Over the next two years, from January 2022 till December 2023, we will work together researching and experimenting with new forms of participative livecasting, (e-)publications and digital archives.
The ‘corona reset’ has forced cultural institutions to get creative with offering their content both on- and offline. Go Hybrid! hooks in on the wide variety of solutions that cultural organisations have developed during the COVID-pandemic. By gathering and researching these solutions, Go Hybrid! wants to develop these solutions further, in order to create a wide array of technologies and means of going hybrid that will help the cultural sector develop itself after COVID or when the next pandemic strikes.
Go Hybrid! looks more specifically into sustainable and innovative solutions for: participative livecasting, (e-)publications and digital archiving. IMPAKT is specifically involved for its expertise and experiments in the livecasting section of the project. The research carried out will be incorporated by cultural institutions to provide hybrid events that are sustainable and offer an equal experience to onsite and online audiences.
