Performing Arts and Metadata: CAPACOA and the National Arts Centre Host the Third Stage of the Digital Tour – Tournée numérique

May 2, 2019 – CAPACOA and the National Arts Center invite artists, workers and cultural organizations in the Outaouais and Ottawa region to take part to the Digital Tour – Tournée numérique organized by Culture Outaouais, Théâtre Action and Arts Network Ottawa. The next event will take place on May 21st and will involve a series of presentations, demonstrations and discussions on the importance of metadata in the performing arts.

In the last ten years, the consumer path-to-purchase in the performing arts has been completely disrupted. Among many things, consumers seek out and share information about upcoming events through digital channels mediated by search and recommendation algorithms.  How well can a non-physical, non-digital object such as a live performing arts event be found, considered, consumed and shared in the digital world of algorithms? And how can its fundamental characteristics – time and place – be used as assets when consumers are growing used to access digital contents anytime, anywhere and on any device?

This roundtable will provide participants with opportunities to learn about the latest research and development related to findability and discoverability of live performance via search and recommendation technologies such as AI-powered personal assistants.
