Innovation Festival Curation

How can we stimulate a new dialogue between art & society?

NRW Forum is a museum for contemporary art. The exhibitions are mostly based on political, historical, social or economical themes or phenomena, seen from a particular point of view. For an entirely new exhibition format on AI going by the name of “META MARATHON” the museum´s artistic director engaged gannaca and its CIO Christopher Peterka in particular to curate the 42 hours format. In close and very friendly cooperation with the museum´s team we put a special focus on the interaction methodology between artists and visitors for the three days event as we strived for a maximum of genuinely, fresh insight – co-created and reflected together during the production.

applied methods:

  • Digital Diplomacy
    Often, transformation projects are less likely to fail due to a lack of willingness, too tight budgets, or too little speed, but rather because of the different mindsets and professional and cultural prejudices of those involved. With “Digital Diplomacy” we provide, in the form of training, exercises, and excursions, for a better understanding between the so-called “old” and “new” world.
  • Radical Openness
    How people connect and collaborate is transforming. By shunning old, secretive practices and embracing transparency, smart organisations share intellectual property within themselves and the community. Through this practice they gain speed and interaction productivity that reconnects them to the pace of change happening around them.

applied services:

  • Assessments
    You're comfortable with your core business. Now you're going for a new market or are simply interested in getting a professional, external opinion on your innovative idea? We assess it quickly, to the point, and based on cutting-edge expertise. As a result you get a personal presentation face to face and a brief evaluation in writing. Some exemplary causes for assessments usually are: - Market Opportunities - Digital Fitness - Organisational Innovation Culture - (Dark) Data Potential
  • Design
    Innovation and change needs the participation of the people on whom you rely to make things happen. This is where the art of design comes into play. Because without a professional, desirable design, all communication is wasted (aka nothing). If your change or innovation project is no fun - it's basically dead before you have even begun to activate it. So, may we encourage you to make things attractive, even “sexy”? Please. We support you with: - Ideation - Art Direction - Creative Direction
  • Advisory
    For a decent amount of time and – much more importantly – with intense practical experience we have specialised in change and innovation culture across industries, cultures, and generations. So, once you think you should get some seriously senior expertise aboard for your project, we're happy to look into your request.   Typically, moments that involve the following topics suggest the need to talk to us. Yet, this list is not exclusive. Basically, if you've read through this and made it to this point: we're happy to hear from you - even if it's about your wedding. - Innovation Formats - Intercultural Diplomacy - Creative Direction
  • Match Making
    We've been running our business for more than 15 years. Since the first day, we've placed special emphasis on our network of high potential thought leaders, change makers, and multiplicators. Once you've comprehensibly explained your specific interest to us, there's a high likelihood that we have some very capable human beings for you who you should get to know to foster your interest. We do this based on trust and high moral standards, so you might hear us answer “no” as well if we feel we shouldn't act. But please: try us. The people we like to match with you typically are of the following kind (globally): - Innovation Thought Leaders - Change Makers - Strategic Investors - Substantial Entrepreneurs
  • Moderation
    You produce a conference, trade exhibition, panel, or show to foster your business and need a serious, well reputed moderator? We’re here to support you with our carefully selected team of moderators from subtle, elegant and smart journalists to straight-forward, canny business guys. Please drop us a line to express your interest here.
