MYCREATIVITY SWEATSHOP
A reality check on the creative industries
Talks, Discussions, Art, Workshops, Performances
20-21 November 2014
@TrouwAmsterdam

The Institute of Network Cultures presents MYCREATIVITY SWEATSHOP, an 
international symposium where artists, scholars and activists critically 
probe the conditions of creative production in today’s economy. Two days 
of panels, performances, discussions and workshops will open a space to 
focus on the consequences of global creative industries policy, to 
discuss alternatives and to develop new paths for both survival and 
subversion.

In many countries creative industries policy is radically reshaping the 
conditions of creative production. Simultaneously, new technologies are 
increasingly turning creative processes into a function of big data 
streams, algorithms and digital scalability. What are the new physical, 
technological and aesthetic spaces of subversion and critique? How do 
creative industry policy and the big data economies influence the idea 
of artistic autonomy? And, as the ‘creative’ city mutates into the 
‘smart’ city, what are appropriate strategies for smart interventions 
from below?

We invite artists, managers, designers, computer engineers, cultural 
workers, internet entrepreneurs, educators, market strategists, 
squatters, policy makers and anyone else interested in forging new ways 
and means for creative survival, to join us on 20-21 November at Trouw 
in Amsterdam.
