About
We conducted a survey of creative, interdisciplinary projects on energy, climate and environmental sustainability to better understand how they were organised and the types of impacts they made.
The survey looked at 100+ interdisciplinary projects, and included a focus on creative intervention and local innovation in urban settings and on transport; artistic practices communicating weather and climate change; and technologies that raise awareness of, and mediate, domestic environmental impact.
Project aims
Reveal multiple models of practise amongst creative, technical, commercial and public-sector partners,
Expose multiple forms of knowledge transfer depending on the nature and output of collaboration,
Inform long-term research agendas through the elucidation of multiple and potentially contrasting factors for successful collaboration, and
Through the breadth of possibilities exposed by this study, inspire new collaborations between the creative industry and academic partners.
