How can creative working processes that connect people, institutes, organisations and industry members be documented, contextualised, analysed, and ultimately understood and used in the context of the larger cultural field? Virtueel Platform initiated the Virtueel Platform Research series in 2009, to analyse a select number of case studies with the intent of revealing and understanding particular creative practices occupied with innovative and transdisciplinary working processes. For many such organisations there is often insufficient time or resources to allow constructive self-analysis of processes as the need and pressure for continuing new projects and pursuits takes higher priority and economic urgency. Projects are seldom examined within their own context to be thoroughly self-refl exive, and require the distance of time and objectivity to allow a fuller assessment. In line with the first Virtueel Platform Research study on the Patching Zone Virtueel Platform selected the UK artist group Blast Theory, with the intention of offering best practices to the cultural sector in the Netherlands through exploring to what extent the group’s innovation takes place in relation to their transdisciplinary working process and how their working methods are transferable and useful to other practices. In this way Virtueel Platform establishes links between various different projects and e-culture practices as a way of fostering knowledge exchange between disciplines and sectors. The artist group Blast Theory from the UK (established in the early 1990s) is an exemplary model for examining a transdisciplinary working process. With partners in various fields, including academic-based science and technology research, industry partners, large funding bodies and cultural institutions such as museums and science centres, Blast Theory has continued to develop an extensive conceptual understanding of who they are as a group, and how they relate and work both internally and with external partners. Furthermore, Blast Theory is innovative not only in terms of the conceptual and technological depth of their projects, but also in terms of their working methods and strategies.
