INC PRODUCTION, DEVELOPMENT and COMMUNICATION INTERNSHIP
The INC is hiring an intern with demonstrated production skills. The intern will be involved in the new INC research project MyCreativity#2, and assists with general office operations.
Start date: September 1 – December 19 2014 with a possible extension to February 1 2015.
0.8 FT (4 days a week)
Compensation: € 450 a month (according to HvA norm)
The intern will work on the MyCreativity#2 project and helps with the production of the international MyCreativity Sweatshop event in November 2014.
The ‘creative industries’ have become an established economic sector across much of Europe, and even a ‘top sector’ in the Netherlands. This had an ambivalent and often dire impact not only on the conditions of creative production but also on art and design education. In the meantime, creative industries policies have moved on to new and more technological shores, which see creativity and innovation increasingly become a question of big data economies, algorithmic design and digital scalability. The question the MyCreativity Sweatshop asks is: Where does that leave the ever-growing multitude of creative producers?
