CAI and CODAME partnered to get artists in the SCALE Challenge.
Why Do We Want Artists to Participate? We believe that involving artists in the SCALE Challenge will cultivate and nurture "art spirit" in participating startups. With art spirit, SCALE Challenge startups will be most creative, disruptive, and poised for long-term success toward transforming supply chains. Artists provide enormous value to high-tech enterprises in the SCALE Challenge to drive real transformation and, at the end of the day, people want to purchase things that are irresistible. Artists:
- Provoke creativity
- Not just test, but change the boundaries of rules and imagination
- Solve puzzles; fill holes; shed skin; transform the world
What is the Expected Time Commitment for Artists? We expect artists to commit 2-4 Hours/Month for all phases of the SCALE Challenge, which include June 2019 through April 2020 (www.scalechallenge.org/details.html).
