Creative Industries
The Creative Industries activity works specifically with creative arts practices and young people in methodologies of co-creation to combat the effects of marginalization: exploring how the digital medium can offer innovative and socially grounded opportunities for self-expression and creative engagement embedded in the real world. We apply techniques drawn from interactive media art in fieldwork for social inclusion. Advanced mobile media and grassroots DIY techniques are used to bring creative practice with digital media into community based outreach work. Read more
Featured Case Study
Interactive and mobile music workshops
SiDE has been working with Generator on their Urban Music Training programme, to expose young people to innovative experimental music technologies and processes. The “Remix Your Instrument” workshop built on the young people's existing musical skills, to open up a new world of musical innovation. They experimented with augmenting musical instruments with sensors that modified the sounds they produced. The technology was open-source hardware and software, packaged into simple modules. This allowed the young people to learn quickly how to use and even modify them.
