The Creative Technologies Meetup was launched as a series of events in 2015 by me and Alexandra Waligorski together with Fab Lab Fabulous St. Pauli, Hamburg. We were primarily interested in finding like-minded people and a potential community in Hamburg and bringing them into contact with each other: Artists, designers, programmers and other people who are interested in the artistic and critical use of technology. In a regular meetup, at least two people present their work, food and drinks provide the basis for staying and exchanging.

The idea is to create a context for interdisciplinary exchange on this upcoming topic which is still often considered a nerdy niche topic although being interwoven with our everyday lives – and then there is beer, food and friendly people.

In 2022, the event series continued to run in collaboration with theHOST.is project by Kampnagel and the Deichtorhallen and offers the chance for interested people and colleagues to exchange ideas with theHOST.is resident artists and other Hamburg artists, to gain insight into the process and to develop ideas together.

Meetup #3 2022

The third Creative Technologies Meetup Hamburg 2022 takes a closer look at the boundaries and shifting borders of our post-digital world – inspired by the second theHOST.is Season of the artist collective Hyphen Labs. In the fall of 2022, under the headline “Anything to Declare? Thinking outside the Border”, Ece Tankal and Carmen Aguilar y Wedge will question forms and practices of creating borders between bodies, landscapes and nations. From Hamburg, the team around the XR project „Dance Machines,“ initiated by the choreographer Regina Rossi, will be present that evening, focusing primarily on experiences of the boundaries of and for the human dancing body. The digital artist Gloria Schulz and the choreographer and performer Sarah Lasaki will give an insight into their work on the multimedia dance experience and their experiences with an intergenerational audience.
