Cultural analytics is a new way to study, teach and publicly present cultural artifacts, dynamics and flows
User-Generated Content – Internet content generated by a non-professional user
Real-Time Cultural Flow is a new direction of study thatexplores the development of visual systems that would allow us to follow global cultures in real-time (ie. Real-time traffic displays – not cars on a highway but real-time cultural flows around the world)
A situational awareness for cultural analysts is a wall-sized display divided into multiple windows, each showing different real-time and historical data about cultural, social, and economic news and trends
Simulation is a wall-sized display playing an animation of what looks like an earthquake produced on a super-computer of important cultural events over time and space
A long tail is a wall-sized computer graphic showing cultural production that allows you to zoom to see each individual product together with rich data about it
