Futures and Beyond: Creativity and 4IR Conference 2022

Alex Halligey

Description

FUTURES & BEYOND and 4IR Virtual Conference was hosted online by UJ Arts & Culture on 30 and 31 August 2022. The University of Johannesburg has positioned the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as its visionary focus in research and higher education, and UJ Arts & Culture, as a division of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA), has been facilitating an ongoing discussion on how thinking around the notion of the 4IR connects to the creative industries, specifically within the South African context and African continental context more broadly. The Futures and Beyond conference was an entirely new initiative coming out of this discussion. The thematic approach to the conference was divided into two streams, with one being ethics, intellectual property, and technology, and the other being creative industries, innovation, and development.

The Futures and Beyond: Creatîvîty and 4IR vîrtua conference was hosted onîne by UJ Arts & Cuture on 30 and 31 August 2022. The Unîversîty of Johannesburg has posîtîoned the Fourth Industrîa Revoutîon (4IR) as îts vîsîonary focus în research and hîgher educatîon, and UJ Arts & Cuture, as a dîvîsîon of the Facuty of Art, Desîgn and Archîtecture, has been facîîtatîng an ongoîng dîscussîon on how thînkîng around the notîon of the 4IR connects to the creatîve îndustrîes, specîficay wîthîn the South Arîcan context and Arîcan contînenta context more broady. The Futures and Beyondconerencewas an entîrey new înîtîatîve comîng out o thîs ongoîng dîscussîon. The thematîc approach to the conerence was dîvîded înto two streams, wîth one beîng ethîcs, înteectua property, and technoogy, and the other beîng creatîve îndustrîes, înnovatîon, and deveopment.

A ca or abstracts was pubîshed on the UJ Arts & Cuture websîte and dîstrîbuted to the dîvîsîon’s maîîng îst and networks în October 2021. Thîrty abstracts were submîtted or consîderatîon to an onîne porta managed through UJ Arts & Cuture’s websîte, ensurîng author anonymîty or the abstract peer revîew process. Each abstract went through a doube- bînd peer revîew. The peer revîew commîttee was comprîsed o eîght members rom seven înstîtutîons, încudîng the Unîversîty o Johannesburg. A members are experts în theîr fieds, coverîng the u range o dîscîpînes the conerence themes touched on and a wîth extensîve experîence and knowedge o Arîcan and South Arîcan contexts.

Sîx fu papers were submîtted towards the conference proceedîngs. One was excuded before the peer revîew process because ît had been submîtted în an MA thesîs format, requîred substantîa edîtîng to be of a chapter draft standard, and the author had not been abe to present at the conference îtse. The remaînîng five papers were put through a second doube-bînd peer revîew process, managed by the Unîversîty o Johannesburg Press.
