Biennial Ciutat Oberta – Digital & Open Knowledge Track

DESCRIPTION:

The Biennial Ciutat Oberta is an event during the fall of 2018 that wants to open the debate on the role of the city in times of change like this one, reflecting on the great currents of thought that pose the future of democracy, the explosion of differences, the challenges of technological change or the validity of urban models which are still predominant. The goal is to open the debate about the cities we want and we need, with plural perspectives and with the participation of everyone. The Biennial will take place in places and neighborhoods of the city. In all the spaces where our city is an agora.

The activities that will be carried out under the vision of an open digital city, have been designed taking into account how to engage citizens, digital communities and digital experts in activities that highlight the debate, the challenges, the difficulties and the conquests carried out within the framework of an open city.

KEY GOALS:

The focus of this specific track is based on a multidisciplinary vision of digital technology and culture. Seeking diversity of formats that recognize collective forms of thought and co-creation, as well as the decentralization of activities in  neighborhoods and spaces of Barcelona, to diversify and democratize where and with whom to rethink Barcelona as an open city. The activities include reflections on the digital city, which will take place through the ideation and implementation of roundtables, wikidatathons and workshops where technology is at the heart of the debate.

Dimmons with the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has developed the curation and coordination of the technological and open knowledge track of the Biennial. The curation is in charge of Mayo Fuster Morell, and the coordination of Thais Ruiz de Alda, with the collaboration of the rest of the Dimmons team. The advisory council of the UOC is formed by the advisory council of the Vice-rectorate for Globalization and Cooperation, the Open Science and Innovation and the Turba research groups, and the Psychology and Education Sciences Studies.
