Happenstance

We're currently working on Happenstance, a NESTA-funded experiment to find out what happens when creative technologists are 'embedded' in arts organisations. We're now half way through the project and starting to make some initial observations about some of the differences between arts organisations and technologists - differences in process (technologists being more process-oriented, arts organisations being more output driven), different attitudes to risk (arts organisations being more accountable than the freelance resident technologists). You can view a short video of Chris Bilton talking about the project, and find out more about the latest developments on the Happenstance blog.


Creativity and Government

From New Labour's 'thinking the unthinkable' to Cameron's 'blue-sky thinking', successive UK governments have sought to apply 'creative thinking' to policy. Should the global financial crisis take us back to basics, or encourage us to 'think outside the box'? And what happens when governments apply 'creative thinking' to the public sector? Clickhere to see Chris Bilton talking about creativity and government policy - and tell us what you think.
