workshop will run as part of the British HCI 2015 conference held
15-17th July 2015 at Lincoln, UK. <br style="" class=""><br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">This
workshop aims to bring together HCI designers, creative technologists,
Performing Arts practitioners and theorists to discuss issues and
opportunities in designing digital tools for communication, artistic
collaboration, sharing and co-creation between artists, and between
artists and actively involved creative audiences.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">There
are numerous existing online platforms that provide immediate and easy
access to a vast range of tools for creative collaboration, yet their
majority create and maintain networks within a ‘noisy’ social media
environment, are based on a centralised model of collaboration, and are
built on corporate infrastructures with well-known issues of control,
identity, and surveillance.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">Focusing
on the Performing Arts, this workshop will take a bottom-up approach on
how to design online collaborative tools without the noise of social
media, drawing on peer-to-peer decentralised practices, infrastructures
for building communities of interest outside the imperatives of
corporate control, developing new kinds of narratives and synergies
that add depth to artistic practice, blurring the distinction between
artist and audience, and contributing to a true sharing economy.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">In brief, the workshop’s goals are:<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">>
to gain insights on how to design platforms for collaboration that
empower the emergence of communities of interest, without the noise of
generic social media platforms <br style="" class="">>
and discuss how to build them free of corporate control and to ingrain
into the design the choice of anonymity and multiple identities (privacy
preserving by default)<br style="" class="">> consider
how to use such platforms to overcome, through increasing
digitally-enabled creativity, the negative effects of funding-cuts in
the arts and the imperatives of the austerity economy<br style="" class="">>
and how to produce, through emergent creative practices, models for
gift and sharing economies that can be facilitated by digital cultures
(e.g. open-source software, file-sharing)<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">We
invite presentations of relevant work in a range of formats (e.g.
position papers, design documents, artifacts, prototype tools). There
are no submission restrictions. We encourage the interested parties to
send audio, visual, written material in any format. If the files are
