The Digitalwarenkombinat (DIWAKO) is dedicated to the creative use of open cultural data and develops web applications and merchandise for and with GLAM institutions under the motto „Shaping digital worlds together“.
Based in Leipzig, Germany, we are committed to the sustainable use of open cultural data and support museums, galleries, archives and libraries in opening up digitally to the whole society.
We love cultural heritage and therefor love to experiment with opendata and openglam objects, to modify, copy, transform and edit cultural heritage to create new things from old stuff.
We help you to make your museum´s and archive´s collections accessible to a wider public and, with the help of playful and educational web applications, to reach even those who have rarely found their way to you so far.
We develop media stations together with you based on your digitized collection treasures - for exhibitions as well as an application for your museum education department.
Despite open licenses and public domain, far too many digitized museum treasures eke out an existence in the shadows of the internet. We want to change that and create new, analog and aesthetic products from them - so that old things can be rediscovered.
You have digitized and scanned your collections, but don't know what to do with them? We accompany and advise you and develop ideas together with you for a creative use of your cultural data.
