DEN Talk: AI & Copyright in Studio Erwin Olaf

AI learns from art, but where is the boundary?

Imagine: your marketing team generates a campaign image in the style of an artist from your collection. Is that an innovative way to make your collection visible, or does your organization face legal risks?

Generative AI makes it increasingly easy to create images that reference existing artists, collections, and styles. This offers opportunities for audience engagement and creation, but also raises questions about copyright, consent, ownership, and the position of creators.

Online workshop: Get an overview of your systems and data (incl. IT advice)

Every cultural organization works with a growing number of digital tools: from Excel and planning software to ticketing and CRM systems. But often, the overview is missing. Who uses what, for what purpose, and how are systems and data interconnected? 

This lack of insight costs time and money and brings risks — such as duplicate work, unclear data storage, or vulnerabilities around privacy and cybersecurity. In this workshop, you will gain control over your systems and data, enabling you to work smarter and make better decisions.

DEN x DigitALL Community meet-up: digital projects, learn from each other!

Often, we only see the shiny end products and successes of digital projects in the cultural sector, but the road to that success is rarely a straight line. On Thursday, June 18, we are organizing a Community meet-up together with Cultuurloket DigitALL, where we will examine digital projects to see what went right and wrong. Because let's be honest: you learn the most from failure. Learn from your peers during this interactive afternoon.

Immersive Tech Week: Art & Creative Industries Track

XR not only reshapes industries but also rewrites how culture can feel. The 'Art & Creative Industries' track brings together the people who make this rewriting happen: the directors, designers, curators, and producers who use immersive technology not as a gimmick but as a genuine extension of what art can do and who it can reach.

Online workshop: Cybersecurity in the cultural sector

Do you work in a museum, theater, heritage institution, festival, or other cultural organization? Then you know how dependent you are on digital systems. Think of ticketing, audience data, CRM, and digital collections.

But what if your organization faces phishing, ransomware, or a data breach? Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, even in the cultural sector. Learn in this practical online workshop how to make your organization digitally resilient. In four clear steps, you will work on an action plan for a secure digital foundation in just two hours.

Immersive Experience Day: for performing arts

Immersive technology offers new ways to tell stories and engage audiences. At the same time, it raises questions: what can you as a cultural organization concretely do with it? What does it require in terms of time, resources, and knowledge? During the Immersive Experience Day for performing arts with a collection, you will have the chance to experience the work of creators, gain insight into their process, and discover what this technology can mean for your audience and programming. Want to personally experience how VR, AR, and XR work in cultural practice? And have discussions with creators and peers about what is needed to take the first step? Then come to the Immersive Experience Day!

Workshop 'Deepening in AI for the cultural sector'

Generative AI has quickly become a regular colleague: you use ChatGPT or Copilot to write faster, gather ideas, or edit images. But how do you ensure that AI truly helps you move forward in your daily work? And how do you apply AI more intelligently, consistently, and creatively within your cultural organization?
