The N.I.C.E. Award 2015 is looking for new and stimulating<br />

innovations that are solutions to global problems.<br />

What problem do you address with your project?<br />

With our project Deaf Magazine we use the connection<br />

between digital and analogue technology in a publishing<br />

product to make it more accessible for deaf and hearing<br />

impaired people. We are also trying to bridge the gap between<br />

the world of the hearing and the deaf community.<br />

There are many trends and key innovations in digital delivery<br />

for the cultural sector like social media, audio/visual content,<br />

IPTV and internet TV, 3D Printing, mobile apps, games,<br />

online archives and resources and user-generated content,<br />

which are still unknown territory for a big part of the cultural<br />

sector. It is time to rethink the possibilities in the way we<br />

produce, share and sustain cultural activity.<br />

What are the creative and business characteristics of<br />

your project? Can both, business and creativity, be<br />

distinguished clearly?<br />

The Deaf Magazine perfectly bridges the gap between<br />

business and creativity, in addition to digital and analogue.<br />

This mixture allows us to act in many different sectors and<br />

that is what makes it more interesting for our audience and<br />

investors. We are printing digital content.<br />

The N.I.C.E. Award 2015 focusses on digital innovation<br />

through culture. How do you see the cultural sector<br />

being influenced by digitalisation?<br />
