Topic:
Designing a Shared Data Future for the Arts Sector
This talk introduces the DNA Project and its effort to design a shared, public-interest data ecosystem for the arts sector, one built on infrastructure that can connect meaningfully with other datasets. We’ll look at the challenges of fragmented cultural data, what a collaborative data future could unlock, and how civic tech approaches and emerging AI tools might help shape and accelerate this work.
Speaker:
Robin Sokoloski
Robin is a national arts leader and the Director of Programs and Research at Mass Culture, driving large scale projects that advance research, data literacy, and sector-wide collaboration. Her work focuses on creating shared systems and knowledge frameworks that enable the creative industry to thrive.
