Syndicate: report 'Pathways to Innovation in Digital Culture'

[Andreas Broeckmann <abroeck@v2.nl>]

Michael Century's report, "Pathways to Innovation in Digital Culture"
is finished and on the web at
http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~mcentury/PI/PI.html


Abstract

This report presents a multi-perspective framework from which to view the
rising density of communication
between the worlds of art, technology, and science. Designating the site of
this hybrid activity as the
studio-laboratory, the first section traces the development of such
organizations historically, compares their
dynamics to that of "transdisciplinary" knowledge production in science and
technology, and argues that they foster
incremental, radical and systemic innovation. The second section examines
this framework through the prism of
five discussion themes: Instruments of the imagination, Creative users,
Access, Reflexivity, Public awareness. A
brief conclusion identifies five issues and questions for further
investigation.
