As the economy becomes more globalized, a growing number of events are exerting an influence on activity and innovation globally in different fields. Therefore, we argue that "eventful cities" can act as important catalysts for eventfulness in other places as well. This article analyzes the case of the Sónar electronic music festival, an event that originated in Barcelona, Spain, but which now runs different editions in many cities worldwide. This empirical study of the innovation capacity of a cultural event examines how a locally based music festival has transformed itself by using the global "space of flows" to influence the local "space of places." The Sónar Festival has turned itself into a relational hub in a global cultural network, using stylistic innovations to link geographically dispersed nodes in order to create new products, open up new markets, and strengthen its own position as a global source of eventfulness.

Seeing improvisation as something that really needs its place in conservatoire training and education may be more or less ‘new’. However improvisation itself is of course not at all new and has existed since as long as we can remember. I will not go into that any further, it would take not a single address but a symposium of at least two weeks.

Elk jaar wordt een afgelegen locatie, zoals een eiland, getransformeerd tot een internationale ontmoetingsplaats waar workshops over kunst, media, gaming, wetenschap, technologie en duurzame innovatie worden gegeven. De uitwisselingsweek is transdisciplinair en stimuleert dialoog en actieve interactie tussen studenten, docenten, gastartiesten en deelnemende bezoekers, wat uiteindelijk leidt tot een klein festival. De publicatie 'Crisis! Re/Constructing Europe' gaat over de Island CQ editie die plaatsvond in Hongarije van 1 tot 13 mei, 2013. Tijdens de voorbereidingen van deze editie werden de media en het politieke debat beheerst door de financiële crisis in Europa. Elk land heeft een andere geschiedenis en dus een unieke relatie met Europa. Dit bracht de vraag naar boven wat de crisis eigenlijk betekende voor de mensen in verschillende Europese landen, en hoe ieder daar op zijn eigen manier mee omging.

This study was motivated by a desire to help working-age individuals gain a better understanding of their daily nutritional intakes with a new self-reported dietary assessment method because an unhealthy eating behavior increases the risks of developing chronic diseases. In this study, we present the design and evaluation of NutriColoring, a food diary that leverages doodling on sketches to report and reflect on everyday diet in the working context. Through a 2-week field study involving 18 participants, the usefulness of NutriColoring in facilitating dietary assessment was tested by making comparisons with the typical bullet diary method. Our quantitative results showed that NutriColoring provided users with improved dietary assessment experience and intrinsic motivations, with significantly low task frustration and high enjoyment. Because of the freedom and playfulness in reporting intakes at work, the interview findings showed a high acceptance of employing NutriColoring at work. This article is concluded with a set of implications for the design and development of a Doodling toolkit to support healthy eating behaviors among office workers.

Worden ‘echte’ journalisten overbodig? Kunnen hun taken niet net zo goed vervuld worden door bloggers of lezers die usergenerated content aanleveren: tekst, filmpjes, foto’s – iedereen loopt immers met een volledig uitgeruste smartphone rond? We hebben toch “16 miljoen reporters” volgens Skoeps (2008) en iedereen is toch journalist (Deuze, 2006)? Daarnaast maken media gebruik van wat onnozele gebruikers achterlaten op Facebook, Hyves of MySpace. Er is zoveel nieuws dat je alleen maar iemand nodig hebt om te knippen en te plakken: cut ’n’ paste journalism. Dat nieuws duikt overal op, Britney Spears en Paris Hilton vinden we net zo makkelijk bij nrc.nl als bij nu.nl, een website waar de journalisten – alle vier – zich uitsluitend bezighouden met het online zetten van nieuws van anderen: shovelware. De traditionele journalistieke poortwachter die op basis van strenge criteria selecteert, kan vervangen worden door de administratieve gatewatcher

What is a pop-up store and how can it be used for organisational counterspacing? The pop-up can be interpreted as a fashionable and hypermodern platform focusing on the needs of a younger generation of consumers that searches for new experiences and is prone to ad hoc decision-making. From this perspective, the pop-up is a typical expression of the experience economy. But it is more. The ephemeral pop-up store, usually lasting from one day to six months, is also a spatial practice on the boundary between place as something stable/univocal and space as something transitory/polyphonic. Organizational theory has criticized the idea of a stable place and proposed the concept of spacing with a focus on the becoming of space. In this article, the pop-up store is introduced as a fashionable intervention into organizational spacing. It suggests a complementary perspective to non-representational theory and frames the pop-up as co-actor engaging everyday users in appropriating space. Drawing on Lefebvre’s notions of differential space, festival and evental moment, theory is revisited and then operationalized in two pop-up store experiments. Apart from contributing to the ongoing theoretical exploration of the spacing concept, this article aims to inspire differential pop-up practices in organisations. https://www.linkedin.com/in/overdiek12345/
