The new project course at HTW-Berlin
From October 2024, the M-Cube Foundation starts its second course at HTW-Berlin.
The new course proposed by Foundation M-Cube and conducted by Emanuela Zilio and Fabrizio Modina, in partnership with HTW-Berlin, will offer a training aimed at the creation and enhancement of professional skills and tools used in the world of Creative Cultural Enterprises, with the objective of starting to bridge the gap between Modern Mythology and Contemporary Culture and begin to use these languages as leverage for the development of new business models.
The approach adopted starts from a context analysis and aims to respond to a number of urgent needs:
- The ability to create attractiveness through Culture for the benefit of all the narrative of the culture of our age, of Pop Culture.
- A convincing business model capable of making creative cultural enterprises sustainable and lasting, making it possible to forecast and measure their real impact in the medium to long term.
- The conscious adoption of new critical views, tools, languages, contents for the transfer of knowledge.
- The consideration of the different targets of the cultural world, first and foremost the citizens of the area where the cultural operation takes shape, the different generations – including the silver age – and people with disabilities, whatever their characteristics.
The course brings together different disciplinary areas, methodologies, theoretical, laboratory and prototyping chapters, and direct experience in museum/installation contexts.
The teaching contents are composed of one Theoretical chapter on “Modern Mythology” and one project chapter to apply XR technologies to Modern Mythology, for a total of 30h.
Students will be required to present projects characterized by a dual nature, analogue and digital, and they will need to be usable in the physical as well as immersive world.
The most interesting projects may then be fully developed and adopted by the M-Cube Foundation and/or its partners.
