C/Change Creative R&D Lab Salon

Please join us as we celebrate the culmination of C/Change's second Creative R&D Lab cycle with a presentation of projects that build toward the future of digital cultural exchange.

During the lab period, five interdisciplinary teams from around the world have produced interactive experiences and tools that articulate visions for the future of online exchange, from modeling the ever-changing landscapes of the Rio Grande to playfully unpacking the intricacies of digital rights in the Global South and filling the representational gaps left by mainstream 3D digital asset repositories.

Join us virtually on Tuesday, December 5th at 5 PM PST for a salon where teams will demo their final prototypes.

C/Change, a joint initiative by Goethe-Institut San Francisco and Gray Area, funded by the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, is exploring the future of technology-enabled cultural exchange.

About the teams and their projects

All Possible Rivers


All Possible Rivers (Federico Pérez Villoro) is an interactive computational simulation that anticipates the future transformations of the Rio Grande/Bravo in order to weave situated stories through the material metaphor of the river and to re-spatialize the U.S.-Mexico border beyond the immediacy of human scales.

Digital Rights Monopoly


Digital Rights Monopoly (Esther Mwema, Uffa Modey, Hanna Pischyk, Rachad Sanoussi) is a simulation game of monopoly that engages players to reflect on the digital ecosystem, co-created through the lived experiences and expertise of the Digital Grassroots global youth community.

Dragon’s Delusion


Dragon’s Delusion (Cheng Xu, KongKee, Lawman Lok, Hanjun Dai, Yixin Wang) is an AI tool inspired by the Asian Futurism animation, Dragon’s Delusion, that empowers users to tell their stories in novel ways.

Missing Objects Library


Missing Objects Library (Jill Miller, Asma Kazmi, Kathy Wang) is a curated, web-based repository of handmade 3D objects that are designed with an intersectional, feminist lens.

Offline.Wiki


Offline.Wiki (Or Zubalsky, Lee Tzu-Tung 李紫彤, Czyka Tumaliuan) is a decentralized platform that disseminates copies of an USB stick-hosted offline wiki to radical bookstores around the world.

Partners

Goethe-Institut San Francisco

The Goethe-Institut San Francisco was established in 1967 and since then supports cultural exchange and dialogue with its American partners. The focus areas of the Goethe-Institut San Francisco include art & technology, film and contemporary art from Germany. In addition to cultural programming like exhibits, screenings, concerts and workshops, the institute organizes public discussions pertaining to contemporary social-political topics.

“C/Change – the next dimension” is a project implemented by the Goethe-Institut San Francisco and is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany. It is a follow-up project to the hugely successful “C/Change”, which was implemented together with the Gray Area. The aim of “the next dimension” is to showcase the prototypes, that were developed in the last project by international teams and focus on feminist technologies, digital democracies and planetary futures. The new project also seeks to strengthen and increase the build network of technologists, designers and artists.
