CALL FOR ART WORKS

The Hot Summer Digital Art and Design Academy, a one-of-a-kind international artistic event, drew participants from Poland and Germany. Both young and seasoned artists, chosen through an open call, came together to explore and grow in the realm of digital art.<figure id="figure-o87ndu06dtly4dxw9u"><img id="o87ndu06dtly4dxw9u" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15e8wRXOpHx4DTvWOKwKjemUwVzfKWU0q5iNvpOtks1gbl1y2tOROaTd8h7Ioafj.jpg" alt="Instagram" title="Instagram" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15e8wRXOpHx4DTvWOKwKjemUwVzfKWU0q5iNvpOtks1gbl1y2tOROaTd8h7Ioafj.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Guided by SBA transition brokers, participants engaged in a series of creative sessions. These meetings focused on digital art, computer graphics, animation, and design. The activity aimed to spark conversations between art, artists, and emerging technologies, kickstarting the formation of a transition broker network (activity 2.1)."We received more than 65 applications. The interest in mixing citizen dialogue, environmental issues, and local identity challenges with art surpassed our expectations" Agata Grzybowska, Academy of Art in Szczecin and Media Dizajn.<figure id="figure-3751izndhly4dyn46"><img id="3751izndhly4dyn46" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fV2dqNn8NnR9LJrJUiCUdsdOY8hhAu9vZL7brKJjJDAU0yB5mEPFFtDaYz4D8kt.jpg" alt="Business Top Shot - www.chromaluts.shop" title="Business Top Shot - www.chromaluts.shop" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fV2dqNn8NnR9LJrJUiCUdsdOY8hhAu9vZL7brKJjJDAU0yB5mEPFFtDaYz4D8kt.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>The event was preceded by local workshops with citizens in March and April 2024. These took place in Wolin, our associated partner city, and in Szczecin. During these sessions, ideas and challenges were gathered in a "ConcernBox". We then mapped these onto the European Green Deal turntable/radar for the South Baltic Area (activity 2.2). Participants drew inspiration from the region's shared history - the era of Pagans, Slavs, and Vikings. They explored these ancient cultures' intuition, connection to nature, and respect for elements like water, earth, and fire, seeking lessons for today."This theme aligns perfectly with the identity of Rietavas, our project partner. The outcomes will also reach Lithuania, and the insights gained in Poland will shape activities in Sweden and Germany."

They honed their design thinking skills and worked with AI-powered programs like Midjourney, Leonardo.ai, Runway, and Firefly.But the journey doesn't end here.

The workshop aimed to develop effective strategies for pitching the project to secure necessary funding. This involved articulating the value proposition of the project to potential financiers, with an emphasis on the project’s potential success, profitability, and the high demand among audiences for captivating fantasy stories. Together, these individuals worked on framing the project's narrative in a way that was both compelling and financially appealing to ensure the project's realization. Their collaborative efforts were directed towards overcoming the challenges of market saturation and genre expectations in the fantasy sector by leveraging innovative multimedia elements and creating immersive, interactive pitch experiences. Participants of this group: Georgios Dimitropoulos, Sabine Crossen, &nbsp;Anette Mattsson, Joseph Valentino Palau, Christian Wikander, Kazimieras Žemaitis Kerpauskas. <figure id="figure-p13474jngblxkap5i0"><img id="p13474jngblxkap5i0" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19CU7bpwSOLlEo4TNJJUj1LBGgX5oI7PbxJHzoObeM6R9yNhPkr7enHlTcXfd3lC.jpg" alt="On top of the world" title="On top of the world" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19CU7bpwSOLlEo4TNJJUj1LBGgX5oI7PbxJHzoObeM6R9yNhPkr7enHlTcXfd3lC.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Group 2: Spice Superheroes The project group "Spice Superheroes" decided to elevate their children's book by creating new opportunities for learning about spices. The challenge was that many children did not know about spices, their uses, and origins, and they lacked interest in discovering new flavors and cultural aspects related to spices. The team focused on creating engaging, interactive educational materials. The project took into account the growing interest of children in culinary experiences and the trend of interactive learning in the kitchen. The key goal was to introduce interactive elements that stimulate curiosity and help in better knowledge retention. The team aimed to expand children's palates and their understanding of cultural diversity through spice education. The project sought to create unforgettable educational experiences that could inspire children to explore and experiment in the kitchen. Interactive elements, attractive graphics, and practical activities were utilized to enable children to apply their knowledge in real contexts, such as cooking or creating spice blends. The team also ensured that the content was age-appropriate, understandable, and visually appealing. The project included support for parents in the form of educational materials and ideas for joint cooking activities to strengthen family bonds and support the learning process. In this way, the "Spice Superheroes" group aimed not only to teach children about spices but also to inspire them to further discovery and experimentation in the kitchen. Participants of this group: Olga Tsareva, Gilly Fogg, Piotr Krężel, Ilya Tsarev, Helena Palau, Henrik JP Åkesson Ruben, Anna Enquist Müller, Gilia Wally Scurati, Kathrin Lauckner &nbsp; <img id="s2pewu417nlxkb3h59" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12eIYVkxocUBl8mGasQrRhSddHJ5RpL6EIENBO5t8XjWxq2Jg1DwfObGwR1kkc55.jpg" alt="Group 2 participants- Spice Superheros " title="Group 2 participants- Spice Superheros " class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12eIYVkxocUBl8mGasQrRhSddHJ5RpL6EIENBO5t8XjWxq2Jg1DwfObGwR1kkc55.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"> Group 3: Myrihandes MusicThe Myrihandes Music group was an ambitious endeavor aimed at bringing the fantastical world of The Secret of the Soulmates to life through a captivating soundscape. This creative and passionate team was tasked with the challenge of preparing compelling presentations to secure funding for their multimedia storytelling project. Their primary mission was to create music that not only captured the essence of Myrihandes but also deeply enhanced the audience's experience.The team set out to weave a rich tapestry of sound that would immerse listeners in the magical realm of the novel, fostering a stronger connection to the story and its characters. By blending traditional orchestral elements with innovative electronic beats, they sought to push the boundaries of fantasy music. Their work aimed to evoke a wide range of emotions, from awe and wonder to fear and melancholy, all while maintaining a coherent narrative flow.This talented group, driven by a shared passion for fantasy and storytelling, dedicated themselves to crafting an unforgettable auditory journey.
