E-book Futures and Beyond : Creativity and 4IR Conference 2022
The Futures and Beyond: Creativity and 4IR virtual conference was hosted online by UJ Arts & Culture on 30 and 31 August 2022. The University of Johannesburg has positioned the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as its visionary focus in research and higher education, and UJ Arts & Culture, as a division of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, has been facilitating an ongoing discussion on how thinking around the notion of the 4IR connects to the creative industries, specifically within the South African context and African continental context more broadly. The Futures and Beyondconferencewas an entirely new initiative coming out of this ongoing discussion. The thematic approach to the conference was divided into two streams, with one being ethics, intellectual property, and technology, and the other being creative industries, innovation, and development.A call for abstracts was published on the UJ Arts & Culture website and distributed to the division’s mailing list and networks in October 2021. Thirty abstracts were submitted for consideration to an online portal managed through UJ Arts & Culture’s website, ensuring author anonymity for the abstract peer review process. Each abstract went through a double-blind peer review. The peer review committee was comprised of eight members from seven institutions, including the University of Johannesburg. All members are experts in their fields, covering the full range of disciplines the conference themes touched on and all with extensive experience and knowledge of African and South African contexts. Twelve abstracts were approved through the peer review process for presentation at the conference. One curated panel discussion concluded the conference.
