Slides from a presentation I made to the annual Arts & Audiences conference of the Nordic States, which in 2014 had a focus on the role of digital in audience development for the arts.
From the programme: "Bursting the community arts bubble: connecting with communities making culture on their own terms. Is the game up for the traditional model of "community art" making (& funding)? This session offers a few provocations towards re-thinking our approaches to producing "community arts", in an era when the digital shift blurs the line between professional and amateur creative, but also creates new kinds of cultural disenfranchisement."
