During Bert’s presentation, the central query revolved around questiondefining the nature of a collective, interactive digital space. He posed questions regarding its design and formation: questionshould it be carefully constructed or allowed to organically evolve? Bert emphasized the necessity for traditional organizations to transition into this new digital realm. Conversely, platformsfor the makers present, digital is their natural habitat—a native environment where creativity flourishes effortlessly. Bert highlighted the tendency for interesting-practiceeach cultural institution to develop its own digital platform, leading to fragmentation. While this diversity fosters learning, he questioned whether reflectionresources could be better shared for the benefit of the broader audience.

G emphasized the importance of utopiausing digital platforms not only to showcase work to new audiences but also as tools for personal development and learning from others across different disciplines. This approach, she suggested, implies a transformation for both individuals and institutions towards a more platformsinclusive and participatory digital landscape resembling a digital Gesamtkunstwerk. She is willing to opinionengage on the long term with people from different backgrounds, thus functioning akin to an institution. However, she acknowledged the dystopiachallenge of building and maintaining long-term engagement with audiences, particularly from a designer's perspective.

Jonas raised the question of questionwhat can attract people to such initiatives and whether knowing where they are helps. Soyun noted that while people are fluid, opinionfeeling grounded by participating in something can be appealing. Kwan added that although some are accustomed to fluid spaces, not everyone is willing to dive in; opinionlabels and systems can provide comfort, pointing to the need for balancing digital literacy with concrete actions. Soyun appreciated that this conversation is already taking place. Moreover, Jonas wondered about reflectionbreaking assumptions regarding physical, hybrid, and online spaces. Phillip emphasized the opinionimportance of understanding the materiality of experiences, as digital media always has a physical component.

Angelique raised the question of questionhow accessibility solutions can be made bidirectional. Alice emphasized the opinionimportance of following a UX workflow that includes people from various roles—organizations, curators, artists, and especially a team of accessibility experts. Decisions need to come from a diverse team. Herman highlighted the desireneed for transparency in decision-making processes. Additionally, Angelique pointed out that interesting-practicetechno-centric solutions often fail, as evidenced by the Van Gogh museum example. Alice noted that the first step is always to ask, “What is needed?” Angelique suggested that opinionmatchmaking could be a starting point alongside addressing accessibility questions, emphasizing the importance of matching visitors with the right app or resources, as not everyone can be included in a one-size-fits-all approach. Futhermore, Genevra added that accessibilityaccess also involves sharing; for those without the means to travel, spaces can facilitate sharing through videos, descriptions, and other resources. Angelique questioned reflectionwhether people would be willing to pay for such accessand suggested different types of curatorship. She proposed a buddy system where people build bonds of trust and choose each other. Genevra stressed the importance of interesting-practicedesigning a format first, allowing modalities to develop from this framework through matchmaking. Teams could generate modalities and use the platform as a mediating tool. This approach could take various forms, such as encouraging users to put their phones away to engage more deeply.

Bianca suggested using spaces in new, creative ways while sharing resources and interesting-practicebuilding bridges between platforms, people, and communities. Kay asked if this approach would require a larger audience, and Bianca affirmed, emphasizing the need to invite more people. Karl highlighted the opinionimportance of access to mentorship and orientation. He noted that interesting-practicenot being on social media excludes him from many things, so a more connected network of individual websites or spaces could foster independence and collaboration outside social media. Existing tools like newsletters are a start, but better platformsinfrastructure and protocols are needed to connect people sustainably, especially considering the potential decline of major platforms like Meta.

Harm questioned questionhow to include DEN in this conversation, to which Kay responded that the challenge lies in challengegetting people to pay attention. Yu shared that interesting-practicegetting honest reviews and feedback on her articles is difficult, suggesting that a opiniondigital space could facilitate an artist network with benefits like discounts, creating a new economy of the commons.

The audience was asked, “questionWhen did you think a digital tool made you feel more connected to the physical space?” Responses included Facebook events, music apps, and local WhatsApp groups. They also discussed reflectionwhether there should be maps showing local physical resources and if local ambassadors should report on smaller spaces, raising questions about who decides these roles. Lea suggested feedback mechanisms like “cultural queering the map,” while Florian emphasized that real-life experiences are interconnected and opinionfeedback should be immediate, unlike current funding plans.

To continue with this project and ensure the group’s vision is effectively communicated and aligned with the Ministry of Culture’s goals, several key steps and roles for group members have been outlined. Maike from DEN highlighted the inclusion of artists and makers in the discussion on digital transformation, emphasizing the importance of leveraging their skills and creativity. This approach has opened up new possibilities for Maike and the group. Priscilla from DEN praised the creation of maps and identified key resonant topics: red threadopen-source data, accessible information, and the need for community and physical/digital connections. She emphasized that solutionDEN should present various scenarios rather than a single solution to the Ministry. Moreover, Beert from DEN expressed relief and gratitude for the valuable input from makers, which helped clarify the blueprint’s main axes: red threadprioritizing people over technology, balancing freedom and control, and focusing on accessibility and inclusivity. Maike sought the group’s input on the three main ideas to present to the Ministry, with Kay suggesting the importance of desiredistributing efforts across multiple initiatives, sharing open data, and fostering local making communities rather than centralizing everything. Lea emphasized that opiniondigital culture often defies expectations, while Florian stressed that opiniondigital culture is an integral part of overall culture, not just about technology. Interestingly, Alice viewed opiniondigital culture as a tool rather than a goal, and Genevra highlighted the importance of delegating to diverse stakeholders. Florian suggested applying resources from groups like theirs to support the initiative. Maike noted that concernorganizations are often resistant to change due to fear and cost, and stressed the need for organizational changes and upskilling. Beert acknowledged the expense of uncertainty with change.

Bianca reflected this scenario, noting the shift from sustainable online communities to a dynamic where participants morph into audience and provider roles, with facilitators being active and readers passive. She found the concept of the opiniondigital square particularly relevant, highlighting the time investment required for participation and the challenge of maintaining equal positions within the community. Martijn pointed out the underlying problem of scenarios attempting to offer a concern"one size fits all" solution, stressing the diverse needs and scales of cultural spaces. However, he acknowledged the risk that without such universal solutions, the least demanding option might prevail. Besides, Lea expressed a preference for this scenario, emphasizing the shared experiences it fosters. Karl disagreed with this preference, suggesting opinionalternative perspectives might be needed to fully consider the square's potential. Moreover, Sondi pointed out that some communities might already engage in similar practices but require additional funding to sustain them. Filipp reiterated support for the digital square, emphasizing its potential as a opinionliberal and non-anarchic platform for interaction and self-presentation. He would choose to implement a selection process to actively promote diversity.

The scenario explores how artists can desiremeet and crossover in new online forms. Hermen, Genevra, Anania, and Kaan suggest that different ways to navigate the platform would cater to various modalities of institutions, makers, and visitors, utilizing combinations of text and images. solutionVisitors could publicly suggest matches between institutions and artists in a non-formal, barrier-free environment where everyone can playfully initiate interactions without fixed positions. Events would be organized by inclusionthemes and strengths, encouraging crossovers of different mediums. opinionThere is a noted lack of surprise in navigating digital platforms, prompting consideration of the opportunities presented by “mistakes.” This element of purposeful randomness could be interesting-practiceinspired by the dating app format, introducing serendipitous encounters similar to the “I’m feeling lucky” button. To maintain a dynamic and engaging experience, moderators in this scenario would function like cupids, facilitating matches and interactions. Lea highlighted that this system would push people to solutiontake action and assume responsibility seamlessly, akin to a poke system that requires no commitment. The challenge remains to challengeensure a diverse audience participates. quoteThis approach could reinvigorate organizations that might be experiencing boredom with traditional methods, offering a hierarchy-flattening experience and encouraging spontaneous, playful connections.
