Distributed creativity

Distributed creativity

This is a creative culture that allows for creative interplay of geographically dispersed participants.

Details

Distributed creativity is not an artist working on an object but rather a group of authors contributing to an artwork. In media art, one can trace a movement from artwork to network. The obsession with objects as described by Walter Benjamin is an enthusiasm for the process of interaction. Bill Nichols describes the latter in his essay “The Work of Culture in the Age of Cybernetic Systems.”

Distributed Creativity has been used to describe network performance , especially by composers and performers working in the area of ​​network music performance. With the idea of ​​distributing performers across the globe, which has been explored under the theme of networked listening. A special issue in the 2009 publication of Contemporary Music Review .

Theorists are considering how to distribute performers and audiences in a performance space impacts on the experience of music making on the audience. Discussions on how each performance is played or discussed under the theme of network dramaturgy.

There are several centers around the world, for instance, the SoundWIRE Research Group at CCRMA , Stanford University, and the Sonic Arts Research Center in Belfast .
