Digital Barrier Erected in KAP1 Youth Library, Dusseldorf
In a groundbreaking shift, the youth library at Konrad-Adenauer-Platz in Düsseldorf has rolled out an innovative solution for artistic expression – a digital graffiti wall that's as legal as it is exciting! This isn't your ordinary concrete wall; it's a canvas waiting to be adorned with digital splashes of color.
Simply grab some virtual spray cans, pick your hues, and start creating! Your masterpiece can instantly be saved to your smartphone or broadcast on social media for the world to see. But that's not all; the digital wall also doubles as a large monitor, streaming retro gaming or eSports events.
Miriam Koch, the Deputy Mayor for Culture and Integration, expressed her enthusiasm: "This digital graffiti wall creates an appealing blend of art and technology, offering yet another engaging way for kids and young adults to experiment with digital tools."
To kicked things up a notch, the city libraries have teamed up with youth leisure facilities to organize events and workshops encouraging creativity. In the near future, you might find yourself competing in the “Spray it - don't say it” challenge, where teams use digital spray cans to guess terms based on categories.
Dr. Norbert Kamp, Director of the city libraries, is proud of this offering, remarking, "This digital graffiti wall is a pioneering addition to German libraries, and we're thrilled to bring this inventive digital tool to the youth of Düsseldorf in our flagship library."
Members of the association Verbunt-Jugendkunst, advocates for youth art and culture in Düsseldorf, have given the digital graffiti wall their seal of approval. Jan Herrmann from Verbunt e.V. emphasized, "We've seen a high demand for opportunities for creative self-expression. The digital graffiti wall in the youth library is a fantastic new option that's always accessible, regardless of the weather."
This unique digital graffiti wall was funded as part of the "WissensWandel" digital program with federal funds. Give it a try, and unleash your inner artist within the library's opening hours!
- The digital graffiti wall is not only used for artistic expression but also serves as a large monitor for streaming fashion-and-beauty trends, home-and-garden makeovers, and technology reviews.
- For those seeking to expand their horizons, the library offers education-and-self-development workshops alongside the digital graffiti wall, providing opportunities for individuals to learn latest skills and techniques.
- If you're contest-minded, take part in the "Spray it - don't say it" challenge, a collaboration between libraries and youth leisure facilities, which tests participants' creativity and knowledge in various categories using digital spray cans.
