CAT Creative Ability Test

Artist statement:
In the field of entertainment the production is often outsourced to cheap labour, whereas the creative part is honored. While reflecting on mechanism of the creative industry two sides emerged with a strong ambiguity. This is why we want to question the definition of the creative part on the one hand and the role of the worker on the other hand.
An interactive video installation provides a survey where the spectator can run through 10 questions with 4 proposed answers. As foundation serve different examples of job interviews for companies in the creative industry. The aim is to end up with a result that expresses in percentage to what extend the respondent fits into the profile of either the creative or the worker. An individual badge will be given away to provoke an eventual discussion in the exhibition space about the meanings of the two categories.

Company statement:

With the CAT - Creative Ability Test we offer a survey that allows individual job hunters to check their potential to work for the creative industry.

It is then the company that decides to what degree creativity is demanded for their working procedures. In addition to this individual outcome, the collected data serves for statistic evaluation, which then can be used as guide line for companies working in the field.
Today we offer a free trial version with an extract of 10 questions out of 120.
