This talk introduces the DNA Project and its effort to design a shared, public-interest data ecosystem for the arts sector, one built on infrastructure that can connect meaningfully with other datasets. We’ll look at the challenges of fragmented cultural data, what a collaborative data future could unlock, and how civic tech approaches and emerging AI tools might help shape and accelerate this work.
