With this knowledge, Creative Front Cambridgeshire is leading a programme of events to support arts organisations in the East to maximise assets, data and new technologies to excite and develop audiences online. What is a Hack Day? Pioneered by Yahoo! in the mid-2000s, Hack Days typically take place over a 24 to 48 hour period, creating an environment for intense creation and discovery. Culture Hack East will enable a skills exchange between the cultural, creative and technology sectors, and generate dynamic and exciting partnerships to explore digital capacity across a wide range of art forms. Culture Hack East started in November 2011 with a warm-up event for arts and cultural organisations from across the region. Following the success of this event, Culture Hack East is staging two key events; What is Data, Anyway! – 1st May 2012 A hands-on workshop for everyone interested in participating in the Hack which aims to give people an understanding of what their data is, what they can do with it and how they need to prepare it ready for Culture Hack East.
