In his talk at Lift France, Marcos Garcia shares his experience from Interactivos?, a platform for collective production and learning that brings together scientists, artists, designers and tech people. Interactivos? is an initiative of Medialab-Prado, a counter-program of the Madrid City Council Art Department focussed on the intersection between art, science and technology as well as the social connections of these intersections: „Interactivos? may serve as a good example of how we can build more open and participatory institutions – institutions and platforms where everyone can become a collaborator“ believes Marcos. One of the leaders of the Interactivos? workshops is SUNY Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz: „The collaborative model of Interactivos? shows the power of collectivism. Still there is a tremendous amount of individuality expressed - people bring the skills that they can bring and through that they make these projects happen and make wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts.“
