What

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 | What is co-pilot? | No Comments

Shared resources for people working at the intersection of art, technology and social change.

Collectively we have the beginnings of a useful resource of opinions, thought and ideas around how people engage in complex projects. Come and add to that resource, tell us how you learnt your lessons, how you understand participation and what we can all do better. If you have suggestions about anything then post them up!

Supporting the development of the resources is a Case Study from a project called The Not Quite Yet, a project that asked how to include older people in the future design process of technology? It was a complex project involving research, community groups, artists commissions, community liaison leading to an exhibition. Evaluative material is shown here as a framework to begin discussing some of the issues.

Creating shared resources

The places where art, technology and participation meet are already remarkable for their creative diversity and bespoke working practices. co-pilot seeks to cultivate these trends further, and open up more space for sharing and exploring frameworks, methodologies and experiences.

First up we have Tim Jones who explores how the participatory art world sometimes avoids honest self-reflection. Tim is the Director of Solar Associates. He’s worked in the arts for over 15 years as a producer, stage director, consultant, facilitator, fundraiser, event programmer and teacher.

We also have Melissa Bliss who will add her anecdotal thougths on defining success and failure. Melissa is an artist based in London. She has a long history of social engagement with technology and her work is often collaborative. She has worked with young people for several years using mobile phones to make videos, take photographs and record sound. Her work can be found at livingcinema.org.
