*Open Up Workshop: Projects for the digital facade of Medialab-Prado**

**February **9 - 23, 2010
*Venue: *Medialab-Prado* in Madrid (Spain)


Open Up has just started! About 70 artists, designers, architects, 
programmers and many other interested people from all over the world are 
already working in this exciting workshop to create contents for the 
first digital facade for artistic purposes of Madrid, a 150m2 and 27.000 
LEDs (pixels) screen.

In this event 7 projects selected through an international open call 
will be collaboratively developed within this next 2 weeks.

The goal of this project production workshop is to explore the 
relationship with the urban space by opening production processes 
through different citizen participation strategies. Selected projects 
are being developed with the aid of tutors and technical assistants such 
as *Jordi Claramonte*, *Chandler McWilliams*, *Casey Reas, **Víctor 
Viña*,* Chris Sugrue *and *Massimo Avvisati*.

The programme includes theoretical activities on *February **9**, **10 
and**** 16*, with lectures by tutors and lecturers such as *Erkki 
Huhtamo* and *Jennifer Steimkamp*. You can follow all lectures and 
project presentations through *live streaming*.

We have just created a new experience to document the process through a 
*blog* to spread the contents generated during the workshop, using 
social networks, video platforms, feeds, microblogging, etc.
