I'm organizing a Creator-focused hackathon and was planning to have a very thorough documentation of what I'm doing and the participants' experiences, to be shared as an open source for stuff like that to happen more often, more freely. Just got humbled/shocked at the realization that documentation is usually an after thought - if considered at all!! - when it comes to creative processes, with chances of getting funding being close to zero. Main reason is because there's no immediate profit to be made. Companies/brands/what-have-you sponsoring artists and their events or exhibitions are not willingly to stretch that budget to include a how-to simply because the return is not immediate. Showing the ropes so others can do what you just did is a bigger picture, long-term type of thinking that benefits the creative community as a whole, which is great, but hardly ever can be traced to that original sponsor. Any thoughts or tips on how to break this cycle?
