sessions during the day.
This session looks at novel models of creativity in reference to
collaborative practices, co-creation and peer production focusing on
their spatiality within a transglobal and digitally-fused environment.
Within this context, creativity is understood as a synergy of spaces,
practices and artifacts, interlinked in such a manner that their
singularity(-ies) form an assemblage. We can consider creativity, and
subsequent knowledge formation, as forms of social interaction rather
than the outcomes of social activities. Whilst we commonly perceive
creativity as the product of the individual artist, or creative
ensemble, from this perspective creativity can also be considered an
emergent phenomenon of communities, driving change and facilitating
individual or ensemble creativity. Creativity can be a performative
activity released when engaged through and by a community. Creativity,
thus, can be also regarded as an emergent property of relations, of
communities. As James Leach (2004), the British anthropologist, suggests
creativity can be proposed as a collective becoming where the creation
of new things, and the ritualized forms of exchange enacted around them,
function to “create” individuals and bind them in social groups, thus
“creating” the community they inhabit and generate new places in the
landscape.
