The Knowledge: Digital Strategy in Culture Simon Worthington

Publisher Marketing: TheKnowledge borrows its name from the learning and examination performed by London Cab drivers to test their navigation skills of the streets of London. The city's topography - its neighbourhoods, street names, and short cuts - is internalised by endlessly driving around the city during an arduous training period, at the end of which 'the knowledge' is understood to be etched indelibly in their memory. It is the knowledge of the use of digital tools in a cultural context from its practitioners that we have called peer learning. Building on the experience of practitioners, addressing the needs of cultural organisations across all sizes and covering opportunities for artistic development to operational areas of production, we have put a series of articles and research using the collaborative writing tool, a Wiki.
