12 things you will learn about Katowice culture thanks to Medialab research
Only a few years ago, no one would have conceived a thought of Katowice becoming a city associated with culture. In 2015, however, following a brief yet intensive period of investment in cultural infrastructure and cultural events, Katowice joined the exclusive international group of UNESCO Creative Cities. Has the city undergone a true cultural revolution? Is Katowice’s current en-vogue status just a passing fad or could it be a herald of major changes in the city centre? In order to find out, we teamed up with cultural researchers, designers, programmers and analysts to study responses given by 3633 participants in over a dozen local events, and analyse tens of thousands of posts published in social media and web-based information services. What we present below is a 12-point list of things to look out for in the exhibition and report summarising our project.

When culture researchers get their hands dirty with code – first reflections from an interdisciplinary study of cultural events
Medialab's research project on culture cycles in Katowice, delivered as part of the Shared Circuits: Creative Momentum project, is now in its final stages. However, before the Medialab team and the invited experts present the full results of the study during the Data (for) Culture, the project’s manager Karol Piekarski comments on the activities already completed in an interview with Łukasz Mirocha.

Data » information » knowledge: Medialab designers discuss the role of visualisation in the research process
In addition to data acquisition and analysis, the subsequent step of data visualisation is a central task that the Medialab team faces as part of the study of the culture cycles in Katowice under the Shared Cities project. As one of our previous postings has already covered the challenges facing our coders, this time we talk to Medialab designers. Paulina Urbańska and Waldek Węgrzyn work on the visual side of the project on a daily basis, while constantly improving our research methodologies and internal team communication.

Medialab coders talk about the challenges of data acquisition and analysis
Successful data analysis in cultural projects would not be possible without the work of a team of coders who work hand in hand with designers and researchers to create the best tools and methods of working with data. We asked our experts – Dawid Górny and Marcin Chojnacki – to talk about their daily work and the challenges they face during each stage of the project.
