The SUSO Project: a new creative network rewarding great ideas that grow through collaboration.
What’s it all about?
The SUSO Project is an online community we created to encourage and facilitate unlikely encounters between artists, musicians, designers, photographers, techies, writers, motionographers, animators, filmmakers, actors, illustrators, engineers, scientists - anyone! We wanted to explore and expose the power of creative collaboration, to see what happens when diverse talents meet, ideas collide and people conspire. It represents the first step on a long creative journey - it’s the spark, the meeting point, the place where you’re never quite sure what’s going to happen.
How does it work?
The premise is simple.
- People share ideas that they want to bring to life with the community so they can be discussed and developed.
- Ideas can be easily browsed by anyone, and when they find something they want to lend their own talents to, they can become contributors to the idea.
- Different people with different talents unite around the idea and agree to make it happen.
- The idea becomes an active Project.
How do I take part?
To be a part of it all, just sign up and start digging around to see what you find. See if an idea grabs you. Or share some of your own, no matter how grand, random or unattainable they may be.
