YBBS 4 Dimensions

One aspect of the project will be the creation of a performance with historical references and with the participation of the population. Co-creation and co-participation will explore how we can relive and relate to history. A contemporary performance has its uniqueness in the here and now. The project explores different approaches to transforming this ephemeral event into a digital object. Digital preservation in an archive will give permanence to the ephemeral event where it can be re-experienced without time or geographic boundaries.

The digital material from the Ybbs town archive and the material currently being compiled from the performance in Ybbs will be made available via a platform for long-term archiving and will therefore be visible worldwide via the international Europeana database. As this is a pilot project, it will not be possible to guarantee completeness, but the collection will be fragmentary and as diverse as possible.
