It is an area of information long protected by those deemed experts and worthy… I’m talking about cultural institutions; museums, library, vast collections of the things that make up our lives. Forget what you know about traditional museum or library visitations, this is about the interested and innovative individuals having a chance to use data – legally- and create with it! And for many it all begins in Berlin at an event called Coding Davinci where cultural institutions meet the creative public and say — to put it in simple terms – here’s what we’ve got to offer, what can you make out of it?
