What will happen in your session?

We will present the Creative Passport, the technology that we are currently building to create a tool to manage a 'creative digital ID' through which you can manage your public persona data, your biog, links and data about your works, a definitive (as in by the artist) truth about themselves. We will then go through some of the possibilities and risks, how it might skew the cultural industries as they now operate. We would then workshop how this could connect to other data sources that exist and where they need to be opened and where they need to be created

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To have a map on how the Creative Passport idea can start to join together the sea of creative and cultural data sources, how we might proceed in creating a source on which new innovations can be created and where this underlying data is open, shared and also working for those who's work creates it. A map of cultural and creative data will be produced, showing what exists and what needs to be built. If we do the workshop early on, we can post this map and allow people to contribute further over the weekend.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

We will use a laptop to present the initial work on the Creative Passport, then use a workshop model, using Artefact Cards, postit notes and pens.
