Welcome to Whippet on the Wire

Whippet on the Wire is a new creative network for companies and individuals in the creative and digital sector in Yorkshire and Humber (and friends further afield). It's a chance to share ideas, be inspired, find partners and collaborators, make new networks and find out what's going in the region.
Use the site to showcase your talent, make new contacts, flag up your events and let others know about interesting stuff you've found (new widgets, great sites, top people, new trends, amazing places). Whippet on the Wire has two sister sites; 38 Minutes for Scotland and Northern Ireland and Who Needs the Sea in the West Midlands. This site is powered by 4iP and supported by Screen Yorkshire.

What is 4iP?

4iP is an innovation fund to stimulate public service digital media (beyond television) across the UK. In plain English, that means supporting great ideas for websites, games and mobile services which help people improve their lives. Channel 4 has worked with regional partners to create a £50m pot to invest in public service media innovation. Themes that 4iP is particularly interested in are;

Hidden gems - tools and sites to help people discover stuff which could change their lives
Digital democracy - new ways to let everyone keep an eye on money and power
Amplifying voices - new ways to empower those communities that media could never previously reach.
Wise crowds - connecting people who need to know stuff with people who know it already
Tools to make trouble - developing disruptive media tools, then putting them in the hands of people that need them most.

In Yorkshire and Humber alone there is up to £10m to invest in great ideas and regional talent. 4iP's regional partners are Yorkshire Forward and Screen Yorkshire.

How can arts and cultural organisations make use of user-led innovation?

Hiya

I need your help!

I'm working on an article for NESTA into the implications of user-led innovation for leaders in the arts and cultural sector. In a nutshell, I'm looking mainly at the opportunities to use technology to engage more effectively with our users/audiences and generate more income - and the cultural/ leadership implications that arise - which are around authority, skills/expertise, developing a culture of being more 'open' to external ideas.

I'd like to practice what I preach… Continue
