Artificial Kreativity presents the Cross Pollinator Project at the London
Festival of Architecture
Join our Cross Pollinator and belong to a creative ecosystem of students,
early-year practitioners, and like-minded individuals to become the next
generation of change. Our multidisciplinary portfolio review experience
exposes students and early-year practitioners to architecture and creative
professions while offering support with professional development. We offer
one-to-one portfolio reviews, presentations, networking sessions, and
essential skills to help them advance in their career. We want them to gain
an understanding of how they can make a positive impact in their community
with creativity at various scales. This is suitable for those interested in
architecture and those within various creative professions.
Portfolio is required for visual arts and we recommend a sample of 10
pieces
Format
The workshop consists of presentations, portfolio reviews, and a networking
session. Each participant will have the opportunity to receive 2 reviews
from different reviewers.

Janek Schaefer
Sound Artist, entertainer & visiting professor, Janek Schaefer trained
as an Architect at the Royal College of Art, where he developed his focus
on the relationship between sound, space and place, and started his art
career, by posting a sound activated tape recorder [Recorded Delivery], for
the exhibition with Brian Eno and Artangel. The context of each idea is
central to its development and resolution, often exploring themes of
appropriation, accident, & alteration.
For 35 years his installation work frequently addresses the implications of
the way we are living. He has exhibited and performed in 30 countries
worldwide, from The Tate Modern, via Pompidou & MIT, to The Sydney
Opera House. In 2008 'Extended Play' won a Paul Hamlyn Award & the
British Composer of the Year Award in Sonic Art. He has released 40+
