Simultaneously, new technologies are increasingly turning creative processes into a function of big data streams, algorithms and digital scalability. This raises many questions: what are the new physical, technological and aesthetic spaces of subversion and critique? How do creative industry policy and big data economies influence the idea of artistic autonomy? And, as the ‘creative’ city mutates into the ‘smart’ city, what are appropriate tactics and strategies for smart interventions from below?
