Sign up now for the 10th Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon in Lucerne. Tickets are free*

The Swiss OpenGLAM working group unites cultural institutions, software developers, digital humanists, artists, Wikipedians, and other enthusiasts with a shared goal of advancing openness among galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM). Within the collaborative environment of the GLAMhack, we engage in joint experimentation, innovation, and artistic creation, exploring the realms of cultural content and digital tools. Our focus spans research initiatives, web and mobile applications, Wikipedia, artistic creations, and a variety of other use cases aimed at fostering openness and creativity.

Join us for GLAMhack24 in Lucerne, where creativity meets innovation, and help us shape the digital transformation of the heritage sector:

We are starting on Thursday, 5 September 2024, at Neubad, with an Afternoon Workshop on GLAM & Digital Humanities. After dinner, we will celebrate an Open GLAM Night, which is open to the public.
The Hackathon itself takes place on Friday/Saturday, 6-7 September 2024, at Moderne Bar & Karussell and Zentral- und Hochschulbibliothek Luzern (ZHB): Develop concepts, create prototypes, or engage in artistic creation in a co-creative setting, utilizing open cultural data.

REGISTER NOW FOR THE GLAMHACK24

This Year’s Theme: “On the Move”

Throughout history, people have left their homes for a variety of reasons and have found themselves in faraway places. This has led to encounters with foreign lands, their inhabitants, their customs, their flora and fauna. Cultural heritage collections are full of artifacts resulting from and bearing witness to those people “on the move”: archival records, travel reports, audiovisual documents, object collections, oral histories etc. These artifacts weave an invisible web between people and places, between events and stories being told about them, between heritage collections and scholars, and between the people of every generation making sense of them – through artistic creation, through the (de-)construction of collective memories, or by exploiting them in the pursuit of political or economic interests.

The thematic focus is intended as a source of inspiration; hackathon participants are free to work on other topics related to cultural heritage.

Event Details

In recent years, privacy and freedom have come under attack. State surveillance has intensified, financial regulations have tightened, and the anonymity of transactions has been increasingly scrutinized. Yet, in the face of these challenges, our resolve remains unbroken.

–> Event-Website

HARDCORE signifies our uncompromising commitment to defending individual autonomy against all forms of control. We reject the chains of coercion and embrace decentralization, anonymity, and cryptographic freedom.

As pioneers of a new order, we stand at the forefront of technological innovation, driving progress for a free society. The old world is crumbling, and from its chaos, we will forge a future built on freedom and innovation.

HARDCORE means challenging control, forging new paths, and continuing the fight for our rights. Let us stand united, firm and unwavering, as we rise together, guided by the indomitable spirit of freedom into the future.

This is our moment.

For the very last time, welcome to the Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis!

Paralelní Polis

Paralelní Polis is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, innovative thinking, and the development of society are the main underlying foundations of the project.

The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique coworking space and the world’s first bitcoin-only cafe.

It was founded by members of a contemporary-art group Ztohoven, and Slovak and Czech hackerspaces. Its main goal is to promote economic, social, and digital freedom. We try to be a vocal voice of liberty in order to shape the public discourse, and ultimately work towards a freer future.
