TEMS Speculative Design Session: Cross-Pollination with Media Data

The Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) are sitting on a goldmine of untapped data. The lyrics of a song or the contents of a book? Data! The script of a movie or television series? Data! The duration of content and the number of views or plays? Data! Imagine what you could do if all this data was shared, analysed, and linked to user statistics. If you knew why certain novels, games or TV shows resonate with people. Or how you could build a loyal customer base, based on insights hidden in data. Join experts from the media and wider creative industries to imagine new tools and concepts for sharing and using data. You will leave with valuable insights and prototypes to bring back to your own work.

In this TEMS speculative design session – co-organised by Sound & Vision, Betaseries and DutchCulture|Creative Europe Desk NL – we will dive into the world of media data and the potential it holds for the whole sector. You will work in cross-sectoral teams to imagine new tools, use cases and business opportunities. You will play around with existing tools to get inspired and to get the creative thinking process started around the possibilities of data.

We’re looking for concept designers, business developers, innovation managers and engineers – and while we very much welcome data specialists too, technical expertise is not required. The result: new use cases and (paper) prototypes for new business concepts. Through various activities and workshops, you will gain knowledge and share experiences with other participants. Afraid of getting stuck? No need! Data specialists, concept developers and industry leaders will be at your service to coach you through. And, as a bonus: you will be one of the first to get a sneak peak into TEMS, the Trusted European Media Data Space.
