This workshop aims to bring together HCI designers, creative technologists,
Performing Arts practitioners and theorists to discuss issues and opportunities
in designing digital tools for communication, artistic collaboration, sharing
and co-creation between artists, and between artists and actively involved
creative audiences.
There are numerous existing online platforms that provide immediate and easy
access to a vast range of tools for creative collaboration, yet their majority
create and maintain networks within a ‘noisy’ social media environment, are
based on a centralised model of collaboration, and are built on corporate
infrastructures with well-known issues of control, identity, and surveillance.
Focusing on the Performing Arts, this workshop will take a bottom-up approach
on how to design online collaborative tools without the noise of social media,
drawing on peer-to-peer decentralised practices, infrastructures for building
communities of interest outside the imperatives of corporate control,
developing new kinds of narratives and synergies that add depth to artistic
practice, blurring the distinction between artist and audience, and
contributing to a true sharing economy.
In brief, the workshop’s goals are:
> to gain insights on how to design platforms for collaboration that empower
> the emergence of communities of interest, without the noise of generic social
> media platforms
> and discuss how to build them free of corporate control and to ingrain into
> the design the choice of anonymity and multiple identities (privacy
> preserving by default)
> consider how to use such platforms to overcome, through increasing
> digitally-enabled creativity, the negative effects of funding-cuts in the
> arts and the imperatives of the austerity economy
> and how to produce, through emergent creative practices, models for gift and
> sharing economies that can be facilitated by digital cultures (e.g.
> open-source software, file-sharing)
