XML Switzerland “Participation Culture” has been chosen as the launch event for the Swiss Federal Office of Culture’s inaugural 4-year Digital Culture program. 

Switzerland is one of the world’s most innovative nations: the birthplace of the World Wide Web, the 3D microchip, and the home of CERN. XML Switzerland highlights the intersections between the cultural, creative and technological - the interplay between the freedom of art and the precision of engineering and the participation of communities in creating fresh new and interactive forms of cultural expression.

XML Switzerland will showcase how innovations in digital media technologies are enabling new stories, new platforms, new forms of interaction, and heightened originality of communities, collaboration, and co-creation.
