James Humberstone (Australia): Reflecting Forward – The Place of Music in 21st Century Education

James Humberstone is Senior Lecturer and Program Director of Music Education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the University of Sydney. Well known for his music education advocacy work, in 2016 Humberstone published the university’s first MOOC (Massively Open Online Course), The Place of Music in 21st Century Education, and his 2016 TEDxOxford talk The Science of Dubstep has been viewed over 200,000 times. Humberstone’s research output spans traditional written work (recently published by Oxford University Press and in Musicology Australia) and non-traditional works as a composer. Recent creative outputs include the Noise Husbandry installation in the Action Stations exhibition at the Australian National Maritime Museum, a cross-arts collaboration (orchestra-choir-hip-hop-cinematography) Odysseus : Live which has attracted significant Australia Council funding, and a new song cycle The Weight of Light, due to premiere in early 2018.

June Breivik (Norge): Kreativitet i teknologiens tidsalder

Vi leser daglig om selvkjørende biler, kunstig intelligens, virtuell virkelighet og andre former for avansert teknologi. Hvilken betydning kan dette få for kunst og kultur? Hva vil det si å være menneske i et slikt samfunn? Hva gjør menneskene når maskinene kan gjøre “alt”? I åpningsforedraget til MusTek 2018 tok June Breivik oss med på refleksjoner om hvilket samfunn og hva slags kultur som ligger foran de barn og unge vi utdanner i dag.

June Mariann Breivik er leder av avdelingen Kunst, kultur og skole i Kulturtanken. Hun er opptatt av at det å skape, gjør oss til mennesker. Barn og unge skaper gjennom digitale medier, de remikser og anvender teknologi til både å konsumere og produsere. I en tid med økende digitalisering, er det det kreative vi må fokusere på, sier hun. Siden 1990-tallet har June Mariann Breivik jobbet med hvordan teknologi påvirker og endrer kunnskap og utdanning. Hun har vært rektor og undervisningsinspektør i skolen og har jobbet som utviklingssjef for e-læring på Handelshøyskolen BI. Les mer i bloggen “Tanker” og i boka “Læring i en digital tid”.
