A journey through the wormhole
Inspired by NASA, we’ve designed a framework that reveals synergies between the universes of art and innovation.
Can an artwork lead to a truly innovative product or service? Can artists and innovators create synergies without compromising their own ideology and integrity?
For years we have seen artistic and creative projects that have the potential to offer societal and economic value as a product or service, but are clueless when it comes to developing all the steps to get there. They get stuck in 'the wormhole'. Wedged between the artistic and ideological reality and that of 'the market'.
During this workshop we play a role-playing board game that provides insights into which steps are required to get artistic and conceptual projects through the wormhole and (also) develop them into impactful products and services.

Collaboration compass
What should you pay attention to when setting up successful cross-innovation collaborations (e.g. between artists and companies)?
The compass answers the question of the most important points of attention when starting a cooperation between organizations and/or individuals with very different cultures. From our experience, we select the dimensions that are important and tune them to your context. It is not a ranking, but a compass that helps to establish a better collaboration. Both your own position and that of the other party are discussed. Will you eventually opt for cooperation among like-minded souls or will you go for cooperation between opposites?
All combinations can be successful. The compass helps you to ensure success. In this workshop, we teach you the methodology so that you can get started with it yourself.
