On Collaboration
Brendan Dawes was never a big fan of collaboration. The space afforded when working alone as a single practitioner always seemed ideal when making creative work. Yet, following numerous collaborations over the years and the realisation that the computer was always an unnamed collaborator anyway, he’s come to embrace the idea of working with others and all the opportunities – and challenges – which come from that process. In this talk Brendan takes you through some of these collaborations — both human and machine — and reveals the things he’s learned and continues to learn.
