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 />
