With the Digital Creativity Festival in Manchester (http://eastn.uk) open to public space and stages the EASTN-DC Europe Culture Project.
TheEASTN-DC project, driven by the French institution ACROE(Association pour la Création et la Recherche sur les Outils d’Expression), is one of the 15 « large-scale » projects selected by EACEA among the 548 responses to the call.
The operational launch, which brings together the official representatives of the 14 partners, will take place in Brussels from 13 to 17 November 2017.

EASTN-DC project runs from 2017 to 2021.
The Creative Europe - Culture programme seeks to support projects mainly wor- king on transnational mobility, audience development (accessible and inclusive culture) and capacity building (notably digitisation, new business models and education and training).
One of the major challenges that the EASTN-DC project addresses in the construction of Creative Europe - Culture is the development of digital creati- vity, which, alongside the size or diversity of audiences, will favor depth the appropriation of knowledge and the ways of creativity by the citizen.
The EASTN (European Art Science Technology Network) emerged from several European institutions involved in research, technology development, creation and education in the field of technologies applied to artistic creation. Since its launch in January 2014, this network has allowed the reception in residence of 40 European artists or collectives, and the creation of many unique pieces. The EASTN-DC project aims to stimulate and support the new and profound emerging paradigm shifts. In order to do so, the project proposes to experiment a new methodology in the field of art and culture that closely and agilely links five essential, yet separate, poles of the transformations inherent to the digital revolution:Research | Creation | Pedagogy | Sharing | Economy.
To counterweight the great disciplinary forces, they must be cross-fertilized, in the very act of creating, whether it be technological creation or artistic creation, or pedagogical creation, or innovations in dissemination or industrial transfer. Transversality is put forward as an object of experimentation, even as a cultural object.
EASTN-DC’s field of intervention is confined to the digital arts in which the temporal dimension is sought, in musical arts, inteactive visual arts or all per- forming or interactive arts of any nature.
EASTN-DC Network
The EASTN-DC project builds on the strength of a long-standing European partnership. The aim is to extend it considerably in terms of consortium, objec- tives, means of action and impact, in order to establish an European network on a sustainable basis on the theme of digital creativity by combining artistic dimen- sions, scientific and technological, pedagogical, dissemination and valorisation.
EASTN-DC brings together 17 partners, including 14 from 10 European countries and 3 from countries outside Europe.
