| Abstract |
The human capital outperforms income and every other variable in the happiness of cities. Yet the "hard to reach", isolated and disenfranchised urban communities in deprived areas are inaccessible through traditional policy channels. We present a route towards unlocking the potential of these urban micro-communities and street-level creatives through engagement that respects their identity, empowers them, their surrounds, and the cities themselves while simultaneously benefiting creative freelance residence. The language of dance is the organic entry point to transcend multiple societal barriers, able to support the inclusion and self-empowerment. The movement vocabs by two dancers and their individual interpretations of alternate real and augmented reality views demonstrate the creative production, capture and non-verbal exchange between the highly diverse micro-communities. The captured digital identities, titles and contracts embedding the collective creative outputs reflect the individual and collective economic agency. The resulting structured, aggregated value tokens facilitate targeted impact and cultural policies and ultimately conflate the Smart City's ratings. The early-stage apps supporting the creative installations and multimedia communication are expected to enter fintech and legaltech accelerators in two countries. |
