Putting the Crowd in the Picture: Crowdfunding and Cultural HeritageOlivier Schulbaum
A talk by Olivier Schulbaum at Europeana Creative Culture Jam 2015, Austrian National Library, July 9-10, 2015.
The doors of the galleries, libraries, archives and museums have now opened wider, and the keys to the glass cases are increasingly in reach of anyone with an interest in participating. Will the crowd begin to bring more social innovation to the long-term planning required to determine the future of our cultural heritage? It’s best not to think of this trend as “crowdsourcing”, but rather as citizen participation, even “citizen curation”. Ultimately, the question becomes: will future heritage be financed and co-curated by the crowd?

20. ● My story with remote work in La Palma is tightly linked to
connectivity improvements timeline.
● Remote work from populated areas of La Palma presents
no challenges today. It has been like that for several years
now.
● COVID has boosted remote work everywhere.

Takeaway: working from La
Palma? Yep.
22. ● Our main industries (tourism, construction and
farming) are in increasing tension with a life in harmony
with our environment, our main asset.
● Our model was in crisis before COVID.
● As result, preserving the essence of our way of living
and our environment cannot depend on further growth
based on our existing economic model.
A crisis
23. ● Remote work opens the door for new opportunities
● If we look at them with the same old glasses, we might
bring additional wealth and prosperity, if we do it
right… but will change very little.
● We would be ignoring the core value associated to this
new opportunity.
An opportunity
24. The core value associated to remote workers is what
they know as well as how they learn it.
The core value
25. ● Remote workers will come to La Palma to live a unique
experience.
● To achieve it, interacting with others is essential. MOst of the
times this involve other remote workers (hubs).
● So in addition to creating the conditions to turn La Palma into a
hub, we should invest in creating communities formed also by
palmeros, specially the younger ones, living here.
Goal: to capture that core value
26. Our ability to create the environments that favour the
creation and growth of communities formed by both,
palmeros and remote workers, represents a unique
opportunity to leverage a profound change in our society,
promoting industries that reduces friction with our
environment as well as a positive changes in the existing
ones.
Takeaway:
