How Do You Do
How Do You Do: Open Archive is an afternoon for heritage professionals and digital makers who are interested in the possibilities of creative reuse of heritage, and the opening up of online collections.
'How Do You Do' is a useful format for exchanging knowledge and skills. Rather than a series of stylised PowerPoint presentations, it provides honest stories about 'the making of' a project, with a focus on what does and doesn't work in their experience. In 40-minute sessions, artists, designers and other experts in the field of open collections, creative commons and artistic re-use share practical experiences and expertise.

During How Do You Do: Open Archive, experts from different disciplines share their knowledge and experiences. Confirmed table hosts include:
- Aymeric Mansoux is an artist, musician and media researcher with a background in economics, visual arts, graphic design and computer programming.

- Maarten Zeinstra is the founding president of Open Nederland and Chapter lead of Creative Commons Netherlands. He works actively to make Open Netherlands a platform and meeting place for creators and re-users to make optimal use of the shared potential that Creative Commons unlocks.

Following the How Do You Do, the official opening of the Open Archive presentation will take place in Het Nieuwe Instituut. During Thursday Night Live! Open Archive, Vincent van Velsen shares his views on creative reuse drawing from his experiences as a writer and curator. Makers Oana Clitan, Guy Königstein and Donna Verheijden will be interviewed by Michelle Kasprzak about their research, creative processes and reuse of archive material. In Het Nieuwe Café Sjoerd Oberman from label Nous'klaer Audio will play.
Open Archive
With _Open Archive_, Het Nieuwe Instituut and Sound and Vision share the possibilities of digital heritage collections with a new generation of creators, and vice versa. The project revolves around experiments with the online availability and artistic re-use of digital heritage. This creates space for a wide range of creative, technical and copyright interpretations.
The re-use of digital collections in museums and archives generates new narratives with potentially surprising and innovative forms. For Open Archive, Het Nieuwe Instituut and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision invited three makers to create new works based on their digital collections. Artist Guy Königstein, filmmaker Donna Verheijden and artist/designer Oana Clitan each developed a media work that will be exhibited at Het Nieuwe Instituut from 14 November 2019.
