CULTURE / REMIX / JAM
Developed by Luca Damiani + Kat Braybrooke
A Tate Digital Learning Project
First, what is digital literacy?…and how can we use it to empower?
Coding, webmaking, software development… how can these be connected to the arts?
And how can open source methods inspire web users to become web creators?
It all started with a brainstorm
And then used Xray Goggles, Mozilla’s open source tool
Which lead to a hands-on training…
And a public workshop at the Tate launch party
using Object Oriented Programming approaches
Followed by remixable teaching resources
And a lot of sharing our process in the open!
Then Mozilla Festival Art of Web, a new collaboration
Involving many groups interested in digital making
Where we were able to work with new kinds of audiences…
To produce a variety of creative pieces
all sharing different voices, ideas and experiences.
And now, we are bringing together audience needs
While continuing to use + remix open source methods
To help audiences become more digitally literate, merging the gallery’s collections and data in creative new ways.
Our continuing question: How can we remix open source methods to promote digital literacy in the arts?
