Engaging. Critically. Structures. Strictures.

10 provocations.

What is ‘creative media’? Does ‘digital arts’ describe what we do?

How do we square embracing and utilising technological change and forms, with critical interrogation?

Is public strategy leading or following practice? 

How is creative innovation and experiment happening across commercial and cultural practice?

How is innovative practice in different contexts understood, valued and promoted by institutions?
