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.

Studio NAND: There is nothing worse than a visualisation that tries to convey too much information at once
On January 9–10, Medialab once again had the pleasure of hosting Steffen Fiedler and Stephan Thiel of Berlin’s design studio NAND, who gave an open lecture, and conducted a two-day workshop for representatives of institutions working jointly on the Shared Cities project. In an interview given to Medialab, the data visualisation experts talked about their work, best visualisation practices and the future of the industry.

What does data tell us about culture? Data-driven research
Thanks to data-driven research we are able to explore the relationship between knowledge about the behaviours of social media users with the research on consumers of culture conducted by traditional methods. This way, we combine the accuracy of surveys and their capacity for revealing the motivations of respondents with the advantages of automated analysis of large data sets, which makes it easy to discover the so-far unnoticed trends and relationships.
