Art Science Festival | CityClimate meets CreativeCoding

In October 2023, Juliana Goncalves and Carissa Champlin collaborated with City Science Lab at HafenCity University to co-curate the CityClimate meets Creative Coding festival in Hamburg. The aim of the festival was to bring science, the arts, data and planning support tools together to explore new approaches for addressing the climate crisis. I am delighted to share that the Festival was a big success! I invite you to watch the after video for an impression of the entire 3-day event (3:38 Juliana & Carissa).

They were incredibly proud of the contributions from the TU Delft side made possible by Climate Action Programme and through financial support from RDI:

1. ParticipAIte- after wrapping up their Interactive Technology Design course, 3 student groups continued developing their prototypes into the ParticipAIte exhibit which challenges the use of AI to scale citizen input in critical decision making processes in a future world marked by climate risk. CAP’s Citizen Voice Users Stories project was featured in the exhibition Juliana Goncalves and Tomasz Jaskiewicz.
   
2. Meta2Micro Tookitting for Hot Cities- workshop featured resilience planning research from cum laude MSc Strategic Spatial Design student Alina Kaiser and Amplifying Weak Signals project (RDI funded collaboration with CAP researcher Claudiu Forgaci)
   
3. Reporting the Delta- Luca Iuorio brought along archival films from his Reporting the Delta project which were featured and discussed as part of the “Floods and Films” film night.
   
4. Tomasz Jaskiewicz and his colleague from IDE brought along their robotics workshop where participants could build and test people-centered urban robot prototypes in a 3-hour session.
   
5. Nikki Brand and fellow gluon joined from Resilient Delta and we made nice connections including with climate scientists from Deltares.
