Culture Hack Details
Culture Hack is a digital development programme for arts and culture that enables the creation of innovative digital prototypes and creates new working relationships across the arts, technology and the creative industries.Founded in January 2011, Culture Hack is a not-for-profit enterprise, run by Sync in Scotland and Caper everywhere else.The original Culture Hack was inspired by the Hack Day format (pioneered by Yahoo!) in which teams of software developers create fast digital prototypes over 24-48 hours.At an initial first ‘hackathon' in London in 2011, 80 developers and designers worked with data from arts and cultural organisations including Royal Opera House, National Maritime Museum, UK Film Council, Crafts Council, and The Guardian, to create over 30 digital prototypes.Since the first event, Culture Hack has grown into a digital development programme – no longer simply about one-off hacks, each Culture Hack programme now lasts for between 6 to 12 months.Over 100 arts organisations and more than 300 artists, creatives and developers have participated in events in the UK and North America, making digital and paper prototypes, forming new collaborative partnerships and devising new kinds of cultural products.Culture Hack provides a unique opportunity for skills development from whatever discipline you are from, enabling collaborative working, making and sharing.The programme has delivered corporate benefits to partners including W+K, Google Creative Labs, the BBC, the Guardian and Amazon, and received grant funding from Arts Council England and the Technology Strategy Board.
