Hvad betyder de digitale og sociale medier for udbredelse og omsætning af kunsten? Hvordan får talentet plads på et kunstmarked præget af konkurrence og vanetænkning? Hvad kan vi lære af udlandet og de danskere, der bor der? Hvornår er kunsten national, og hvornår er den international? Vi kender til copyright, men findes ”copyleft” som udtryk for en ny finansiering af den skabende kunst? Vi diskuterer disse udfordringer og finder løsninger på dem.
Moderator: Clement Kjersgaard

- A sneak peak into the future technologies and experiences with two brains from the interactive field
Two of the most experienced interactive producers (former BBC exec producer and Zentropa Interactive CEO) present a selection of the most intriguing and non patronizing international children’s transmedia projects from the past and insights into upcoming new formats that are in development. The session has three main elements:
- See the best and brightest examples of interactive projects, on ipads, connected devices, learning games etc. from around the world.
- Get a sneak peak into research and development in other areas working with kids and interactives, the Websæk – a collaborative interactive art and culture project for kids between 7-10, and hear what types of experiences will be created within the next year, and The MSO project, where Swedish and Danish partners (classical orchestras, theaters) are developing new ways of engaging the younger audiences.
- Rapid ideation and testing of your own concept. Bring your project along in text and we will do a super-fast shared development session to help you with choosing your next steps for both content and technicnology. We have time for around 3-6 projects.
