The British Council publication Why Technology Needs Artists: 40 International Perspectives shows how innovation lead by artists not only boosts technological progress but also generates social and economic value, integrates cultural diversity and puts forward sustainable futures centered on human values where ancestral knowledge offers models of shared wisdom. From this dual economic and political perspective, this conversation with José Carlos Mariátegui will reflect on its potential as evidence for public policies, innovation plans and digital governance and will also address the role of copyright in the digital world from diverse knowledge systems. Moderated by Sissi Hamann.
