Data for culture

Description

For several months a group of city researchers, programmers, analysts and designers have been getting to know the cultural ecosystem in Katowice, using design as a tool for acquiring and presenting knowledge. The data came from social media, online services and thousands of participants who took part in a survey. The aim of the project was to create tools enabling the analysis of the cultural life of the city and facilitating decisions for organisers, decision-makers, activists and residents.
