Living Lab Methodology
What is Living Lab Methodology?
A Living Lab is a research methodology aimed at co-creating innovation through the involvement of relevant stakeholders in a real-life setting (Dell’Era & Landoni, 2014). It emphasises open innovation and participatory design.
Research Design
Stage 1: Understanding the theoretical landscape through literature review and public consultation
Stage 2: Understanding the concept of quantum musical creativity through co-creating insights with multi-stakeholder in a dedicated Living Lab network (including composers, bands, engineers, physicists, firms)
Stage 3: Report Insights and documentation
Purpose of LLM
Enactment:
To involve musicologists in technically creating and performed quantum music in real-life music settings.
To engage in interdisciplinary collaboration across the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics and the School of Computer Science at UEA.
To investigate concepts such as quantum tuning and temperament, sound synthesis, and quantum-enabled studio production.
Observation:
To involve ethnographers in observing and understanding the implications of the enactment lab for creativity and innovation.
