In a time where the UK Budget is undergoing a mass overhaul with the depletion of public subsidies and the cutting of councils, what are the opportunities now in networked technology and collective working beyond ‘cost-efficiency savings’ and business exploitation for the development of culture, ideas and a thriving social ecology? In following an enriching first event in May, DOXA presents a second discussion ‘Futures in Collective Working’, which looks at not so much on the problems of the current cultural and economic system, but the new possibilities in forms of collective working including open source, crowd-sourcing and resource sharing. The discussion begins yet does end with digital technology and seeks to explore practices and models of work that can nourish, as well as, sustain creativity. ‘Futures in Collective Working’ brings together a diverse group speakers from backgrounds of media arts, the media industry and academia to look at various collaborative practices and emerging models to approach a renewed visions of culture for the future.
