Time to Shine Presentation: Creative Scotland
Kyle and I were asked to present at the Time To Shine Digital Learning Event, alongside the other six projects receiving funding from the initiative.
It was a great way of learning more about what other projects are doing, discussing the differences and similarities between what we are doing, raising larger contextual problems, particularly that surrounding the idea of ‘digital technology,’ and what that actually means, as well as giving us a unique opportunity to play around with some of the other project’s inventions which included 360 videos and a musical pizza box!
Alongside us, was Teenagers and Toddlers ; a digital intergenerational project where young people have the opportunity to create a product with, and for, an early years audience.
Sensatronic Lab ; a digital project for young people overcoming barriers of disability, and or social and economic exclusion. It enables them to create a unique ‘Sensory Orchestra’ of tactile electronic instruments and sound sculptures that can then be shared and used by a wide audience through a range of mediums, including live performance and audio and visual distribution. Sparks, Drifts and Rain enables young people from Argyll and Bute to take the lead on digital media cross over projects. The young people have chosen to create digital works on themes around the landscape and seascape, they are surrounded by. Participants will be supported by a number of collaboration partners in various digital arts.
Hot Chocolate Trust : Unlock Digital which engages young people with high-quality digital arts opportunities, encourage collaborations between young people and artists across multiple disciplines and provide them with access to the arts, cultural activities and practitioners around Dundee and beyond. The young people are resourced as contributors to, rather than consumers of, digital technologies promoting self-expression, collaboration, learning and creative play.
Shaper Caper: cmd__v.2 (Command Shift Version 2) is a dance, multi-arts and projection mapping project that places young people at the heart of curating, organising, creating and delivering digital art works.
