Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how the artists can inspire a collective process supporting and leading to practice-based innovation. The underlying hypothesis is that enabling innovation through art is a powerful means to foster practice-based innovation. After having presented innovation as new situated knowledge, relevant at a micro-level work process activity, the concept of ba is brought forward to describe organisational contexts that invite, sustain, and foster innovation. The Art of Hosting and Harvesting are then presented as appropriate collective facilitation and information gathering processes to nurture innovation. Considering innovation as knowledge emerging from collective intelligence, two cases illustrate how collective intelligence can be nurtured by artistic practices. The results are focused on the specifics of the principles and practices at work, which are creative, artistic, playful, sensible, involving concerns for ethics and aesthetics, and helpful in creating meaningful experiences.
