How do the creative industries use data?
Ninth in the series of Edinburgh Culture Conversations - held Monday 7th September 2020. Produced by the University of Edinburgh's Festivals, Culture and City Events Team and hosted by Director, Janet Archer.
Data is more than just technology. How is data being used imaginatively by people working in culture and the creative industries? Are there new ways that data could be used to open the door to future opportunities?

Asad Khan is a computational architect and a doctorate researcher at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA). His research and practice deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create forensic autopsies, cinematic installations and data-simulations out of remote-sensed data-archives, indexing anthropogenic disasters and catastrophic anomalies. His research and practice is amassed into 'The Entropy Project'.
Wayne McGregor CBE
Wayne McGregor is a multi award-winning British choreographer and director. He is Artistic Director of Studio Wayne McGregor, a creative nexus that pushes the frontiers of physical intelligence through dance, design and technology.

Ben Cullen Williams
Ben Cullen Williams is a London based artist, and long standing collaborator of Wayne McGregor’s, whose practice consists of sculptures, installations, photography and video. In his work, Williams explores mankind’s relationship to the world in a rapidly changing environment; he focuses on key issues such as the in-between, global, local and personal and the Anthropocene. He investigates how related spatial typologies can be understood as a physical manifestation of our own human condition. He draws on a range of fabrication processes from physical to digital to understand our phenomenological relationship to the material world in an unsettled age. His work has been shown internationally in a range of spaces, galleries and environments as well as collaborating with a range of different disciplines and fields. Williams’ work operates on a range of scales from the human sized to those of architectural proportions. Williams studied at the University of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Art.

Professor Chris Speed is Chair in Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, collaborating with a wide variety of partners to explore how design provides methods to adapt, and create products and services within a networked society. Chris has an established track record in directing large complex grants with industry partners that apply methods to challenges in the banking, international development and cultural heritage sectors.
Patricia Wu Wu
Patricia Wu Wu is a fashion designer and researcher who works with algorithmic computation, remote-sensing, digital fabrication, fiction and performance. She received her MA in Fashion and Textiles from the Glasgow School of Art in 2015. Her PhD research aims to mutate fashion towards new thresholds of material perceptibility, creating speculative conditions for thinking and practicing in the Anthropocene. www.patriciawuwu.com
