Sync was a set of activities designed to support cultural organisations in Scotland develop a more progressive relationship with technology and technologists. It had three central elements: the annual Culture Hack Scotland event, a Geeks-in-Residence programme and the Sync Tank magazine. It was part of Creative Scotland’s Cultural Economy programme for 2012-14.
There is currently a great deal of conversation about digital innovation in the cultural sector. We established Sync to emphasise making over talking and to create experimental spaces so that organisations can take risks, explore the unknown, work with exciting talent in new ways and test ideas quickly and cheaply.
Sync was designed and made by a team of producers: Suzy Glass, Rohan Gunatillake, Erin Maguire, Emmie McKay, Chris Sharratt and Devon Walshe.
It was supported by Creative Scotland.
