Overview.
Landscape-Portrait is public art project which collects video portraits of person and place which act as a critique of those produced by demographics. The work tours around the country inviting collaboration between local artists, community professionals and participants within each locale. The work has been running now in its data gathering phase for five years and has collected an extensive archive of video portraits.
The plan now is to release this video content as open data, with the aim of offering an alternative view of person and place to that which is derived from statistical information. In order to do this I need the services of a programmer conversant with Open Data practices (RDF etc), who might be willing to work with me on this next phase.
The project is not a commercial exercise, it has been funded primarily by the Arts Council of England, therefore there is not an extensive budget, however we do has some funding. In addition the project is the focus of my PHD, and therefore I can devote considerable time to it.
If you think you may have some time to help move the project onto the next phase please drop me a line @: kevin@co-lab.org.
Phase one of the project itself can be viewed here: www.landscape-portrait.com
