I was honoured to be invited as a keynote speaker to the Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, to participate in a forum on “Health, Equality and Innovation: Paving the Way for a Brighter Future” on the 12 January 2024. With a focus on the 9th Sustainable Development Goal, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, my online presentation to the forum was on the following topic, “From Imagination to Innovation: Exploring the Boundless Possibilities of Creative Art Industries.” In the presentation, I explore the role of technology in extending human capabilities, but not as a means in itself. Rather, through the careful consideration of technology’s appropriateness for context can innovative and impactful outcomes be arrived at.
