Dear list, 

How collaborations between the Arts and Creative Digital Industry sectors are shaping models of curatorial production, distribution and reception

This month’s theme is hosted by CRUMB team member: doctoral researcher and curator Suzy O’Hara. Suzy's research investigates collaborative practices emerging between the arts and commercial creative industries. 

There is currently a lot of interest in inter-disciplinary, cross-sector collaborations between the arts and commercial digital industries. This is exemplified, by the emergence of: strategic funding alliances such as the NESTA R&D Fund for the Arts (UK); technologist in residence programmes within UK arts organisations (Happenstance, Geeks in Residence) and in the US, artist in residence programmes within commercial digital industries (Facebook and Autodesk); collaborative incubator style, co-working hubs such as Fish Island Labs, Pervasive Media Studio (UK) and New INC, New Museum (US); temporary art hack events that engage with the field of production of digital, interactive and new media art, such as Hack The Space at Tate Modern and Culture Hack Scotland; collaborative exhibition contexts that merge traditional and new media curatorial strategies such as Digital Revolutions, with commercial competition based commissioning strategies of Google’s Dev Art,; commercial gaming and social networking platforms being used as part of museums and gallery curatorial and engagement strategies (HullCraft (Minecraft), The Photographers' Gallery Instagram Take – over) and conferences such as Digital Utopias Conference delivered last month by AND Festival, supported by both ACE and Google UK.  

My research reflects upon the differences in values, systems and working methods at play within these new curatorial contexts, and seeks to articulate an evolving curatorial role.

We are very pleased to introduce a variety of practitioners to our conversation this month. You are artists, designers, curators, technologists and researchers.  We look forward to learning of your experiences and seeing where your insight, along with the voices of all of the list participants, will take this conversation over the course of the month.

To start our discussion, I would like to draw upon the invited respondents to reflect upon their own artistic and curatorial case studies and practices and share their personal experiences and thoughts on their own collaborations between arts the creative digital industries. I would like respondents to consider the ways in which we are negotiating areas of commonality and difference between these two distinct sectors, including: Values and Motivations, Money and Cultural Value, IP and Crediting, Licensing, Roles and Working Methods, Marketing, and Public engagement.

We are looking for thoughtful comments and opinions from direct personal experience rather than 'essays' - in general, things which will be of most use to other curators, producers and artists in their work.
