The Open Prototyping methodology provides a framework to analyse how combining art and ICT can stimulate innovation and demand for IoT and Smart City data and services, and highlight potential roadblocks to acceptance before they are encountered.
Research has assessed the implementation of the Open Prototyping framework in IoT pilots in the UK, Netherlands and Singapore. Findings suggest two key contributions of combining Art and ICT through Open Prototyping are to:
1. Stimulate innovation and demand for IoT data and services in ICT companies, and
2. Enable consumers and industry users to question what is trusted, acceptable and desirable (Ibid.).
Evaluation Framework of the methodology for integrating ICT and Art for LSPs
The Open Prototyping methodology highlights actionable evaluation to iterate and improve the methodology. Additionally, evaluation material aimed at advocacy should be collected to communicate the results of ART-ICT co-creation and to ensure the continuity of projects in this domain.
The research further identified benefits to the IoT pilots and the artists themselves corresponding to different stages and dimensions of the activity, as detailed in Table 2:
Round-tables
Round-tables in non-usual places for the context of IoT will be organized. They will take the STARTS Talks model in which the participation of the partners of the LSPs, end-users, scientists and artists are gathered to discuss and present to the audience the innovations undertaken in the pilots. They will take place, for example, in Ars Electronica and European Parliament.
The round-tables will serve as a starting point and as a networking hub for its participants to raise awareness across the LSPs and the artistic community for the importance of creative synergies between the arts, science and technology to foster innovation in European industry.
On the other hand, the European Union strongly relies on innovation to compete globally and to make our society more sustainable and inclusive. It is becoming increasingly clear that in order to succeed Europe has to avoid silos and think more holistically about innovation and technology that is of value to society. In this spirit, high tech companies and funding agencies are currently promoting creative synergies between art and technology.
Participants will reflect on alternative innovation processes that recognise the Arts as a disruptive catalyst for innovation in economy and in society.
IoT Community of Artists
An IoT Community of Artists around the LSPs will naturally be created as consequence of the activities of the implementation of the methodology for integrating ICT and Art in the LSPs. Already the artists referred in this report are part of this Community.
The initial group of artists of the IoT Community of Artists are the ones exhibited at the exhibition Next Things_Next STARTS, in Gijon, Spain, between December 2017 and March 2018. Their wide experience in working in the context of IoT makes of them a privileged group to address relevant questions in the The IoT European Large-Scale Pilots Programme. Next Things_Next STARTS is showing for the first time the results of the research and production residency programme called Next Things organised by LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in conjunction with Telefónica R+D over a five-year period with the mission to forge new connections and collaborations between art, science, technology and society. Following an open call issued to artists and other creatives, the most innovative ideas and projects related with the Internet of Things were chosen. The award consisted in a six-month residency (two at LABoral and four at Telefónica R+D) to materialise their ideas and projects, as well as substantial funding.
