Research: Interviews
Why Interviews?
We hoped that by collecting these voices together on this topic they each might say something that taken together could give us an understanding of what bringing together community, arts, and the internet might entail, imply or require.
Considering that there are few resources dedicated specifically to this topic, it helped to go directly to the source and interview practitioners in this field and peripheral fields.
We thank the interviewees greatly for donating their time to this project. We chose people who represented a wider community in hopes that people within their communities would be attracted to this conversation and come here to share their own ideas.
