What you need

The following list looks quite long, but in reality it's easy to get everything together and to get started.

Your team

The more people you have in the team for your town, city or region - the better! Although we tried to make it as simple as possible, it's not trivial at all. You will need lots of different expertice in your team:

  • Technical know-how: You need one friend who knows how to setup Wordpress on a webspace, keep it secure and does a bit of HTML-Design.
  • Graphical know-how: You need to design flashy stickers. We provide you with a layout-example which can be opened and redesigned to your needs in Adobes InDesign CS4+ (see section "Stickers"). A little bit of know-how is also need for designing your ebooks (.epub and .mobi-files) and knowing how Photoshop works is always a good thing.
  • Contacts: You will need people in your team with contacts to the artist's community as well to other institutions. In Klagenfurt we put more than half of our initial stickers on bus-stops. Good contacts with the local utility-company turned out to be very useful.

A cool name

If you like Ingeborg Bachmann too, we are happy to host your site under the pingeb.org-umbrella for free giving you a subdomain (e.g. vienna.pingeb.org or berlin.pingeb.org). In this case: send us an email to mail@pingeb.org.

However, you can do whatever you want under whatever name you want. Since people out in the field don't have to type the domain name.

  • Webserver/Hosting-Account (Wordpress and plugins)
  • Accounts: Soundcloud, Wordpress.com for Akismet, Twitter,
  • Some technical help (only at the start)
  • Stickers with QR-code and an optional NFC-tag
  • Locations
  • A smartphone for testing purposes
  • Artists: without them your project is just a bunch of flashy labels next to a street
  • someone who understands media and can talk to journalists. Especially regional media will love your project!
  • time and passion - the most important ingredients
