Summary
The survey identified a number of types of 'Creative Assemblages'
- Compact and closed assemblages
- Compact and open assemblages
- Loose and open assemblages
Within creative assemblages, it was found that:
Creativity is integral to how the project functions as an assemblage.
We observed a correlation between 'looseness' and 'openness.'
Relatively compact assemblages in the survey tended to produce outputs that are relatively closed and constrained, amenable to intellectual property protection.
Rather than producing a linear transfer of intellectual property for commercial gain, projects that are loose and open arguably create the conditions in which intellectual property can be developed by a wide variety of people in a broad range of settings.
We found various types and groupings of project partners:
University departments
Large corporate organisations
Small corporate organisations
Funding agencies
Government departments and agencies
Galleries
Museums
Homes
Independent artists/designers
We found a diversity of outcomes:
Prototypes
Artworks
Journal articles
Domestic appliances
Participatory workshops
Press coverage
Postgraduate researchers
PhD theses
A research community
