Innovation at CSM: Beyond the Scroll
Central Saint Martins invites you to its upcoming Innovation at CSM industry event, exploring the evolving role of physical experience in an increasingly digital world.
Beyond the Scroll: How creativity and physical experience can earn attention and create lasting impact will bring together leading creative and industry voices to explore how physical showcases, exhibitions and experiences are evolving alongside new technologies – and the distinctive opportunities they create for discovery, participation, connection and collective experience.
Hosted within Process, a new CSM exhibition exploring how ideas develop across 6 distinct themes: Discovery, Detour, Community, Connection, and Transformation, the evening will combine a live panel conversation with an opportunity to encounter work by recent graduates and connect with fellow guests from CSM's community and wider industry network.
Central Saint Martins has long been a place where new forms of creative practice are tested, challenged and brought to life. Our community do not simply adapt to changing technologies and behaviours – they explore how these shifts can create new ways for people to encounter ideas, participate and connect. For businesses, this offers a valuable perspective on how creativity can cut through an increasingly crowded landscape and create experiences that people choose to engage with, remember and share.
