Media Management and Organization Strategies for Media Artists
Wednesday December 2nd, 6:30PM
PAVED Arts Production Centre
Host: Carrie Gates
Do naming conventions, file management systems, and digital storage strategies make you shudder? Then this workshop might be for you. We all know that sometimes the organization side of media arts is a low priority when doing creative work. But it’s an absolutely critical skill to being an efficient artist and could be a life saver if you ever have a hard drive fail you. This workshop will cover the basic best practices to abide by when doing media art work by one of the most prolific artists in Saskatoon, Carrie Gates.
