Together with a selection of guests this session will sum up the results and insights the Free Culture Incubator has generated during the past days. What can be done beyond the festival's lifespan?
Whilst traditional enterprises conjure up their corporate identity, the creative sector proudly points to its heterogeneity.

Time's Up has been developing large scale interactive situations since 1996 with a tendency towards large steel and pneumatic devices. 'Luminous Green' is a series of workshops that explores the possibilities of living well and sustainably in the world.
