The F@IMP Festival:
AVICOM invites all museums and other cultural institutions as well as media producers who are members of ICOM to participate in this year’s Media Festival.
Please note that the categories have changed as follows: Museum film, animation – Media – Web – Exhibition installation – Mobile application.
The following criteria will be assessed in the categories: Research, documentary – Education and mediation – Interpretation – Inclusivity and sustainability.
The General Assembly / Conference: The Virtual Museum
In addition, AVICOM cordially invites you to participate in this year’s General Assembly / Conference. The theme is “The Virtual Museum”: What are the content-related and methodological criteria for a Virtual Museum and what distinguishes it from other online museum databases? In which cases does the installation of a VM make sense? Can and may the VM replace the physical museum? Does the VM pose a threat to the physical museum or can the VM support the physical museum? Are there target groups that can be reached better via the VM than via the physical museum? What opportunities does the VM offer in terms of barrier reduction, inclusion and sustainability?

Contributions to both the Media Festival and the General Assembly (presentations: approx. 15 to 20 minutes) can be submitted until 31 May 2023, 12 p.m. (CET).
