Hey dear everybody and Marcus,<br><br>I find the meeting yesterday interesting and important. The only thing I do not get, why we need to make everything so complicated? If artists, curators or places have no needs they will probably not attend such a meetings and will not join our community.<br>
When ReSource made first their meeting, they had also doubts about it importance. But it worked out and already have very good results. For me personally one meeting or meeting once in three month was too less, I also got lost in the big crowd, was difficult to know each other.<br>
I want to post one more time our first invite to the meeting where Chris very clearly explain what is the purpose of the meeting. <br><br>Berlin has over 400 commercial galleries and 150 non-commercial project spaces. In a scene still dominated by traditional media, how can spaces concentrating on innovative works in New Media, technology and the borders of the arts, science and technology raise their profile, attract a larger public, and gain access to more funding?<br>
<br>We suggest creating a series of regular meetings, where curators and organizers can exchange information, search for synergies, and discuss common strategies for PR, fundraising and more.<br> <br>Our first meeting will be to discuss our common needs and goals and decide how we can best cooperate to achieve these. Bring your questions and ideas. Possible areas for discussion may include, but are not limited too:<br>
<br>How can we raise the profile of 21st Century arts (New Media, technologically driven art, Electronic Music, Bio-art, Science Art, etc) in Berlin?<br> <br>What are the possibilities for common publicity platforms for spaces (e.g. a blog, website or flyer devoted to New Media exhibitions)?<br>
<br>Possible strategies for funding. Arts vs. science, technology or educational funding. Partnerships with arts, educational or research organizations. Raising awareness at local, city and federal level of New Media arts projects to increase funding possibilities. Other ideas?<br>
<br>Connecting to a larger public. What is our position in the city of Berlin?<br>Do we want to provide our activities for a select public or to introduce our projects to a larger public? How do we go about doing this?<br>
<br>I hope it helps to understand more about what happens in regular meetings.<br><br>LLLG<br>Erika <br><br><br>This will also be a chance to come together and get to know one another better.<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 10:59 AM, Markus Huber <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mh@transmediale.de" target="_blank">mh@transmediale.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>hi,<br>
<br>
thanks to michelle and supermarkt again for hosting.<br>
<br>
it was a nice (network internet collaboration eculture)
discussion, but i also had my difficulties to understand it and
get access to it. i got the impression, that there have been at
least 2 parallel streams of interest going on: the one for a very
specific working group with the goal to setup the discussed
platform and another one, which seemed to be interested in
something, that could be understood as a more general community
exchange with the goal to get to know each other.<br>
<br>
speaking for myself, i also missunderstood this meeting, tought it
would be part of a community building process, open discussion and
introduction of new people, new spaces, questions, content, etc.<br>
<br>
though but it was clearly formulated (agenda) and also
communicated (minutes + mailinglist) as a specific discussion,
this intention fo a focussed discussion is challenged and gets
disrupted, when the group of people attending, is not always the
same and as such might also coming with different agendas and
expectations. <br>
<br>
so for the next meeting i would be interested to hear, if it will
be more sort of a working meeting to further develop the platform
at0m (...) or, if it will be a more open discussion and meeting on
projects, difficulties of production, challenges of communication
and visibility etc.<br>
<br>
would be happy to attend both.<br>
<br>
all best,<br>
markus<br>
<br>
ps: i would suggest a working group, that is actually dedicated to
discuss the individual profile / situation of the spaces, their
strategies of how to connect with their audiences, create
visibility and engagement and find possibly ways of how to create
synergies with the same, but different audiences; to discuss and
focus maybe also on what competences are existing and what
competences are lacking in order to use the resource of this
network filling these gaps, building toolkits, etc.<br>
<br>
pps: will check again the ciant website and how far the beta
version has been developed and send you then a link to the
mailinglist, so you can check out, if it could be helpful for the
platform building process.<br>
