8. “ Culture Hack Scotland was a great advert for how open
innovation can transform access to culture.
Blown away by Culture Hack Scotland. Probably the most
productive hackday that I’ve ever seen. Well done Scotland.
A fantastic opportunity for non-techies to get their head around
the possibilities that digital media offers.
An educational, informative and fun experience. It really
highlighted the advantages and importance of openness and
collaboration.
No clearer demonstration of how the worlds of digital and the
”
arts are the same terra firma. I want more.
