StadtWerkstatt Medien 2021: Over 820 visits from over 30 countries
With a total of over 820 visits of the online media sculpture and the vernissage livestream, the StadtWerkstatt Medien exhibition “Apart but connected” closed its doors on 31st of January 2021. One week prior, over 300 participants visited the virtual marketplace of the city of Dieburg and engaged in creative experiments with digital media in the media workshops.
Despite the physical distance, a lively, creative exchange between participants and the students of the media campus was made possible by a creative use of the internet and technology. In addition to the large interest of the Dieburg community, people from over 30 countries took part in StadtWerkstatt Medien.
In early June 2021, the Master’s program International Media Cultural Work will create the next cultural event in collaboration with the city of Dieburg: the annual media art exhibition. The main focus and topic will be made public in April 2021. StadtWerkstatt Medien with its creative media art workshops will take place next time in winter 2021/22. Whether online, on-site or as a combination of both: inspiring and creative “encounters in Dieburg” will certainly happen again.
