This panel discussion examines a topic close to everyone’s heart: creativity. According to many, serendipity and social interactions are the engine of creativity. Steve Jobs said about this: “You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas – If a building doesn’t encourage [collaboration], you’ll lose a lot of innovation and the magic that’s sparked by serendipity.” The pandemic-induced remote working may have endangered serendipitous innovation by significantly reducing face-to-face interactions between creative professionals. Will remote collaboration prove to be a driver or a constraint for innovation? How can technology tools help creatives alleviate the absence of in-person interactions? What does the future look like?
