mix'n'hack - 5th Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon

The fifth edition of the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon took place on 6-8 September 2019 at the brand new cultural center Les Arsenaux in Sion. This time, OpenGLAM CH and Museomix.ch worked together to combine the OpenGLAM hackathon format with the Museomix makeathon approach. The event was hosted by the Médiathèque Valais, the State Archives and the Cantonal Museums. Further partners included infoclio and the members of the Friends of OpenGLAM Network.

mix'n'hack - how does it work? During the mix'n'hack, we invite the participants to experiment with cultural data. Our aim is to imagine new ways to valorize our digital heritage and encourage their appropriation by different users. In a multidisciplinary team accompanied by coaches and experts, the participants collaboratively develop their ideas and participate in the development of a functional prototype, be it a web or mobile application, a mediation device or an artistic performance.

Contact: If you have any questions regarding the mix'n'hack, you may contact Valérie Hashimoto valerie.hashimoto@openglam.ch.

Press review

Listed below are some cultural datasets from the host institutions that were proposed to the participants for the mix'n'hack in Sion. But of course, participants were free to work on the cultural datasets of their choice. A full list of open cultural datasets from Switzerland can be found here.

Photographs of Valais by Charles Rieder (1890-1910)

Charles Rieder, owner of the Café de Genève in Sion, was also an amazing photographer who left us 243 negatives on glass plates, taken between 1890 and 1920. The subjects are conventional: portraits, processions, celebrations, but the photographer's perspective is original and not devoid of humour

Il contient en particulier des enregistrements à caractère ethnographique : captation de pièce de théâtre, de musique -essentiellement populaire – et un entretien sur support DAT avec Basile Tabin, alors âgé de 90 ans, qui revient sur ses souvenirs de famille.

The Mediatheque Valais has digitized many images, recordings and films about Valais. However most of them are still under copyright and therefore not freely usable. During the hackathon, it will be possible to discuss with the collections manager to see what is possible to do. For example :

88 recordings about Valais Patois
155 movies about the daily life in Valais (1930-1978)
405 Posters about Valais

On top of that, two other collections might be useful for the hackathon

Artothèque : the Mediatheque has a lendable collection of Artworks
Metadata of the 700'000+ documents from Mediatheque Valais - Sion


Aerial Photographs Eduard Spelterini

Between 1890 and 1910 Eduard Spelterini (1852-1931) undertook a number of travels by balloon over Switzerland and other countries. While doing this, he took photographs from above. Pictures from a bird’s eye view from this time are very rare, so this collection is an important contribution to historical research.

Rainer Maria Rilke Manuscripts

A lot of manuscripts, letters and pictures from the famous poet and novelist Rainer Maria Rilke, who spent the end of his life in Valais.
