The residency programme for the international project ‘Data Conversations for Impact’ starts in October.
Young people aged up to 30 working in the creative sector will come together for an intensive 10-day research and development residency in Pisa. The residency focuses on the question of how to get to know one’s audience without reducing them to mere numbers.
The residency is based on a simple yet radical idea: data collection can be a creative act. Find out more about the residents and the programme here.
The residency will take place from 1 to 10 October 2026 in Pisa, Italy, and its final phase will coincide with the Internet Festival (8–11 October). The outputs produced during the residency will be presented at the festival. Over the course of 10 days, participants will work in small interdisciplinary teams, take part in workshops led by European practitioners and researchers, and design and test prototypes of their ‘info-experiences’ in real cultural contexts. The prototype will also serve as the foundation for a larger-scale implementation at the Estonian National Museum (ERM) in 2027, designed to engage museum audiences over a two-month period and explore how info-experiences can be embedded permanently into a cultural institution’s practice.
The project is being implemented by a European consortium comprising six partner organisations: Fondazione Sistema Toscana (Italy), Domestic Data Streamers (Spain), Malmö University (Sweden), the Estonian National Museum, IN2 Digital Innovations (Germany) and the University of Florence (Italy).
The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme and runs from March 2025 to November 2027, with the aim of enhancing the capacity of the cultural and creative industries sector to collect, interpret and apply audience data.
