Wenn Menschen interagieren, hinterlassen sie Spuren: Unzählige Briefe, Tagebücher, Chroniken, Tafeln und andere schriftliche Aufzeichnungen haben Erinnerungen an Menschen bewahrt – lange vor dem Aufkommen von Smartphones und sozialen Medien.

Vom 22. bis 26. Mai 2023 bot der ExploreSalon am ACDH-CH in Wien einen Raum, um diese digitalisierten Erinnerungen zu erforschen, nach verborgenen Geschichten zu suchen, Ideen zu diskutieren, Erkenntnisse zu teilen und innovative Einblicke in das Geschichtenerzählen mit Daten zu gewinnen:

Sie konnten aus einer Reihe von kuratierten biografischen, räumlichen und zeitlichen Datensätzen mit Fokus auf Wien 1900 wählen und damit spielen. Alternativ konnten Sie auch andere Datensätze vorschlagen oder Ihre eigenen mitbringen.

Während Sie sich gemeinsam mit Ihrem Team auf den kreativen Prozess einlassen, stehen Ihnen MentorInnen vor Ort und online zur Seite und geben Ihnen die Möglichkeit zu gegenseitigem Feedback und Erfahrungsaustausch. Am Ende der Woche gab es die Möglichkeit, Ideen zu präsentieren und die Ergebnisse mit anderen zu teilen.

From May 22 – May 26 the ExploreSalon, a collaborative space in the heart of Vienna, opens its doors to dedicate time to explore innovative insights into storytelling with data:

You may choose between a number of curated biographic, spatial and temporal datasets with focus on Vienna 1900 to play with. Alternatively, you may suggest other datasets or bring your own.

While you engage in the creative process together with your team, the mentors offer on-site and online expert consultancy, providing the opportunity for peer feedback and sharing experiences. At the end of the week, you will have the chance to showcase your ideas and – if applicable – share any results with other participants.

• creative and visual storytelling
• storytelling with and through data
• working with prosopographic data
• insight into the ACDH-CH‘s work & data collections
• learn about historical persons and their lives

If you are interested in topics such as storytelling, biographies, history and relationship threads that weave into human lives through time and space, this is the place for you!

We invite designers, humanists, historians, programmers, artists, coders, academics, biographers and thinkers to unleash their creativity and explore ways of representing data, exploring relationships and conveying stories in exciting and unique ways. We are looking for people with different backgrounds who enjoy a good story: you do not need to be a historian nor a programmer to join us!
