Born into the digital revolution, the data have become in a few years a major ethical, political, technical, and economic issue - as much as a central part of culture and creative industries of the 21st century.
A special focus is given nowadays to personal data - whose impact has been analyzed by the Forum d'Avignon from its creation to the organization of the first event ‘100% Data’ (cf our report ‘Personal data, a cultural issue’). While the matter of Open data takes up the political field, that of ‘big-small-smart and open’ data has invaded – helped by means of numerous predictive algorithms – all the sectors, from marketing to human resources, from research to strategy. Doing so, a true ‘Data Culture’ has appeared ; while its first stakeholders and raw material’s providers – the citizens – are not necessarily aware of it.
In this respect, cultural institutions and industries have to complete a double mission. As the essential vectors of cultural diversity, they must:
How to mobilize the ecosystem of culture (especially institutions and industries) about the role it could play in the creation and dissemination of a ‘Data Culture’ - useful for its development? Who creates and disseminates data in 2015? How can cultural diversity be strengthened?
So as to offer concrete proposals, in 2015 the Forum d'Avignon leads with its partner Atelier BNP Paribas a study and some working groups on the following topic :
‘Data Culture : what role for the cultural industries and institutions?’
