Project Arc-hive creates an open source digital platform that +aggregates, preserves, publishes, distributes and contextualizes a +variety of information, knowledge and documentation on art with a focus +on biomedia, ensuring open access to a variety of users, and a wide +outreach of digital materials across cultural sectors and +territories. 

+ + + +

Arc-hive addresses the challenges of creating and distributing +cohesive digitization and dissemination protocols through a centralized +digital space where knowledge and best practices relevant to art +predominantly using biological materials are collected. Created through +collaboration of six partners working in NGO and museum sector, +publishing, and IT and audio-visual field, the platform as the main +project result serves as a catalysation tool for the activities of +artwork and museum specimen digitization, archiving and distribution; +remote event participation, planning and realization; augmented +publishing; staff and student education and training; and topic +contextualization and interconnection. 

+ + + +

Aimed at building capacities of various cultural agents working with +biological and living materials, the project provides a feasible and +tailor made digital solution to some issues fundamental to the field, +following philosophical principles of open data and +information sharing in all project phases. 

+ + + +

Arc-hive was born out of a collaboration between Cultivamos +Cultura (PT) with KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art +praxis (HR), Suomen biotaiteen seura ry foreningen for biokonst i +Finland foundation (FI), Zavod za kulturo, umetnost +In izobraževanje Kersnikova (SI), Hangar – Fundació Privada +AAVC (ES) and Institut Royal Des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique (BE).
