Creative Crossings workshop
A triangular research network, practitioners from Britain, Canada and Finland, gathered in London to work on participatory and creative applications for mobile, locative and cross-platform media.
Creative Crossings was organised by m-cult, the Banff Centre and Arts Council England in April 2004. A research-based event rather than a conference, three days of workshops and conversation culminating at the Finnish Ambassador’s residence in Battersea. My full notes are here, and Anne Galloway’s collaborative summaries cover the shared thread.
Ambitions
- Investigate transformative use of space and place
- Address gaps in infrastructure: access to standards, material frameworks and technology
- Instigate a triangular network: tried and trusted network practice
- Pursue research and practice, less engineering
- Explore relationships between media, gaming, locative, mobile, visual media
The discussion is continuing, and the next informal meeting of participants is happening at ISEA 2004.
