Post Craft at Future Everything

I was asked to chair a panel at this year's Future Everything conference.
The theme of the session, provided by the conference programmer, was 'Post Craft'.
Three makers and designers of very different sorts were hunted down by the programmer and lined up as the panel.

I've never chaired a panel before but this year I'm saying yes to new things, to push my comfort zone a little. It's fair to say I was more than a little nervous, which I countered by going into hyper-organised mode. It seemed to work, once we took to the platform the nerves disappeared and the session flowed.

I felt it important to start by asking if there was such a thing as Post Craft because if there is, I had no idea what it is. (If you're wondering, we all seemed to agree there probably isn't such a thing).

The event was attended by a very digi-savvy crowd so I looked up the tweets about it afterwards to try and see if there was any feedback about how people thought it had gone. Luckily the responses was positive.

To try and capture some of the conversation I set up a little mini-site pulling together the panel, the questions asked, and the responses on twitter. You can find it all here.

John Cleese on Creativity

John Cleese talks about the structure of thinking, being creative, and writing. When I was pointed in the direction of this video it was just what I needed to help me focus on a report I'm writing. Take 5 minutes to watch it, it could save hours in the long run.

    I'm most interested in how the public, your public, whoever that may be, engages with culture and creativity.  

    And if it nurtures creativity and develops personal, social or professional skills  I'm absolutely all ears.
