The Tyrolean barcamp on topics related to creativity and sustainability. Perfect as a warm-up to the FÖ N Summit, the Barcamp offers you the unique opportunity for a collective learning experience. This event is anything but an ordinary conference, as it brings together creative minds from a wide range of disciplines to exchange ideas in an open, dynamic format. At the Barcamp, the participants – who also act as speakers – organize exciting sessions on a wide range of topics.

Good conversations over lunch – that has always worked. WEI SRAUM is trying out this format for the first time in Innsbruck in the run-up to the FÖ HN festival and has sought advice from its colleagues at CampusVäre Dornbirn. Between the courses, which are prepared by local chefs or cooking collectives, there are short inputs from interesting people and questions that stimulate conversation with the people sitting next to you. What is it all about? About what we want to change as creative professionals, what the big issues and tempting challenges are in Tyrol and perhaps also how we can become happy beyond growth? A curated lunch as a prelude to the FÖ N inputs at the weekend.

In addition to exciting presentations and discussions on current topics from the world of film and music, there will also be a musical finale as usual. The personal exchange between colleagues is also very important. An event organized by the WK Fachvertretung Film- u. Musikwirtschaft Tirol.

Today, images and videos can be produced with a short descriptive text at the click of a mouse. Do we need that? Or does it destroy our common idea of what we call reality?

Uli Staiger brings light into the darkness. He shows live how AI images are created, the differences between the individual checkpoint models and explains how AI can massively support us in image processing.

3 films that make creative work a very personal topic:

Kill Your Darlings follows a young German creative, Anouk Jans, around the world. She interviews industry leaders in order to gain a clearer picture of her future and that of the advertising industry. A Cannes Lions award-winning documentary.

The Female Drive series is an interview format that asks decision-makers from business, society and politics a groundbreaking question: “What drives you?” Charlotte Bufler meets inspiring women from all over the world in the back seat of her car. The answers are intended to motivate young women in particular to be courageous and take a stand.

The Creative Brain A fantastic documentary about creativity! Renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman uses the creative process of various innovators while exploring tricky and risky ways to inspire creativity.

Talking about AI is important and right. But as we speak, the new technology is already establishing itself in commercial applications such as Adobe Photoshop.
In this workshop by Uli Staiger, you will learn about Photoshop’s current AI tools and how to use them effectively and creatively: Mastering tricky clipping, replacing backgrounds, AI retouching in seconds, beauty retouching, generating creative images with partial transparency, and much more. All project files are provided. The only two requirements are a sound basic knowledge of Photoshop and your own computer/laptop with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.

While much has been written about the impact of participatory arts on people in urban spaces, in this event we focus on rural contexts – often places with little contemporary arts and culture on offer. Producer, cultural activist and traveling curator Claudia Zeiske has a wealth of experience with participatory art that connects local activities with global realities from her work at Deveron Projects in Huntly in rural northern Scotland. The public space becomes the “venue” rather than a gallery or art center. In her work, Claudia Zeiske explores the question of how the art offer in rural environments can be sustainably built and structured through fieldwork that resembles anthropological methods. Her transformational fieldwork approach is a form of cultural management that combines social engagement with research methods of long-term participatory observation. Drawing on her experiences in Deveron Projects, we discuss how cultural engagement in rural spaces can be shaped through a combination of long-term commitment to a community, to a place, and effective cultural management.

This panel discussion followed by a workshop will bring together leading experts to provide exciting insights into temporary use projects. It will show how temporarily unused spaces can be used creatively and innovatively to enrich urban development, the community and the economy. Successful examples will be presented, the challenges of implementation highlighted and the long-term prospects of these projects discussed.

In the workshop, the participants will jointly develop visions and creative concepts for the interim use of the BALE building. The focus is on how the building can be used as a cultural meeting point and place of creative work to enrich the community and give art a space.
An inspiring event to discover how interim use projects can positively change the cityscape and the community.

On September 11, 2024, we cordially invite you to experience the Tiroler Landestheater from a new perspective. Starting at 5 p.m., we will guide you through the entire building, provide insights into hidden corners such as the side stage and the Malersaal and tell you about the world behind the scenes. – After the tour, we will go straight to the main rehearsal of the production Verlangen in the Great House. Experience the creative process up close as the directing team and colleagues from the various departments put the finishing touches to the production
