And this can have negative effects for creatives and artists, when their data is being used by others (including digital platforms and artificial intelligence), without proper compensation.In this project, we want to enter in discussion with creatives and artists to understand that we can do, together, to improve how data is managed in the Scottish creative industries.How you can help usBy joining one of our workshops funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, you will be asked to share your experience and views on how you manage data as part of your creative work.Then, together with the other participants, you will contribute to developing new ways to manage data to the benefit of Scottish creatives and artists.You do not need to be an expert in data. We want to hear from people active in different creative industries, with various levels of expertise around data.What you can expect from usThe workshop will last between 2.30 and 3 hours, including some lunch (on us). You will also receive a £25 voucher as compensation for your contribution!By joining us, you will have an opportunity to delve further into these matters and have your voice heard.At the end of this project, we will produce a report to be shared with the Scottish government and other industry stakeholders.
