WORKSHOP | Futures Worldbuilding: Digital Literacy for Creativity, Presented by Pathwaves

SOLD OUT!
Extra spots will be available 15 minutes before the event on a first come, first-served basis.

What might digital literacy look like for creative communities in 2035? And how might technological skills drive positive outcomes, innovation and opportunity?

Pathwaves, an initiative aimed at empowering Canadian musicians to make lifelong careers in music more possible and equitable, was created in response to musicians not being at the decision-making table as digital technologies were evolving, and subsequently not benefiting equitably from the digital transformation of the industry.

This Pathwaves workshop explores such provocative ideas during an immersive two-hour experience facilitated by musicians and futurists, where participants are presented with digital drivers of change - hot topics like AI, algorithms and more - and consider how those might influence the way artists create, produce and perform in the future. Carefully crafted to encourage interpersonal interaction and ignite conversation, this session will draw insights from the outcomes of MUTEK Market’s digital workshop to push the creative community beyond dystopian visions and binary limitations. Through collective futures thinking designed to unearth new insights, artists will engage in an empowering world-building exercise that stimulates a learning, imagining and purpose-setting mindset ... all the while keeping the Pathwaves project’s original mission at heart: empowering Canadian artists to make lifelong careers more possible and equitable.

The workshop is designed by OCAD University-affiliated Super Ordinary Lab and produced by Envision Management & Production.
