The Project

StoryLab – A Space for Literary and Technical Fusion

How can the library become a space of possibility for the city’s community? The Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart – the Stuttgart City Library – aims to explore this question within the framework of the programme, together with experts and partner institutions. The plan is to create a StoryLab – a space where technology meets artistic and literary approaches: for example, through AI-supported writing and video workshops, or by producing 3D objects of literary characters. The aim is to enable new forms of participation and to actively involve civil society in technological developments. To achieve this requires expertise, time and exchange: concerning technical equipment, the design of the space, the development of a viable access model and networking with potential partners. The first step, therefore, is to gather creative ideas and develop a concept that will make the StoryLab a vibrant place for innovation and social dialogue.
