Episode 042 - Stuart Buchanan (Sydney Opera House) on digital teams, international collaborations, reaching new audiences, experimentation, rights and IP, and artistic applications of AI

Digital Works Podcast

We catch up with Sydney Opera House's Head of Screen, Stuart Buchanan.
We talk about Stuart's new job title, how digital teams are structured at SOH, and the unhelpfully vague nature of the word 'digital'.
Stuart shares how digital artistic programmes have enabled the Sydney Opera House to work with new artists, in new ways.
The issues and challenges around rights, and reaching agreements with artists (and the value of having a track record that you can point to in these conversations).
We discuss the many experimental strands to the work of Stuart's team, and the potential uses of generative AI in that context.
And lots more!
