Connected Communities 2011: Seattle Band Map Part II

Part 2 of 2.
Talk by Joanna Berry. Exhibition by Rachel Ratner, Keith Whiteman (Real Fake Productions, Seattle) and Golf Sinteppadon (University of Washington).

ABSTRACT

Talk:
"Seattle Band Map" is a "crowd-sourced" map of the relationships and interrelationships between musician and bands in Seattle and outlying areas. The conception and development of the project will be described in detail, and the potential for its evolution will be considered not only geographically, but also contextually. Musical collaborations are common, but there are similar, regionally-embedded networks of relationships within, for example, design, art, film and electronic games. The presentation will therefore consider how the project might expand to cover other forms of individual and collaborative artistic and cultural expressions. The presentation will reveal how this technologically-mediated project adds a rich layer of understanding to the city's artistic and cultural heritage, and thus proposes a new understanding of cultural embeddedness within a geographic region.
