Coda2Coda.Net needs a link

[James Wallbank]

Dear All,

In order to involve more people in this discussion, I suggest that the Coda2Coda website needs an update to include a link to this group.

I also suggest that using Coda2Coda to disseminate Andrew Nairne's response from ACE (so people can see a dialogue going on) would be balanced, and might suggest a further response.

I wonder whether Coda2Coda might also include the text of, (or if copyright prohibits this, a link to) Charlotte Frost's "Digital Cuts" article in Artists' Newsletter.

What do you think?

Best Regards,

James

I think yes! But it means expecting someone (Honor?) to do the necessary..

I agree it's important that the dialogue is visible, and that things like Andrew Nairne's response can get some public reaction/discussion..

Yes, I agree. Us smaller group who convened after the meeting to help write up conclusions in a letter (also Simon P, and Rachel B and Sarah C) haven't had much time to be very attentive to things online... Neither wrt the site nor to this list - apologies for that.

For me, Andrew Nairne's response brought so little new, unscripted and different from what one can read anywhere in existing strategy documents that, while it's nice to see him/them reiterate a general principle of commitment to creative practice and all things uncontroversial, it just seemed that putting more energy in to debate and engagement with ACE's official 'voices' - when so little critical intensity and rigour is brought to the party from their side - was not, err, very appealing - or productive.

I'm sure all of us will have learned from it though, and have smaller, perhaps more and less visible, debates, and in time may have these surface here and on coda2coda - and even, let's hope, official policy or, god forbid, actual funding decisons (!).

I'm also happy to help put up links etc.

Digital as promotional ('enhancement of larger organisations at the expense of smaller ones'), in Scotland as in England...

All best,

AmbITion Scotland events are designed with Scottish creative and cultural organisations and individual artists in mind.  On 21 June 2011, an entire day was filled with five minute pieces of theatre, performed live in front of audiences all over Scotland, that were webcast online to the world.  In its lead-up and during its execution, the production built a content syndication partnership with STV, and technical consultancy partnership with Envirodigital. The webinar will look at this ambitious digital project through the eyes of both supporting partners as well as the NTS, to explore the issues and opportunities of digitising live, cultural experiences; crowdsourcing content; and building online audiences.
