Thanks to Lex Leifheit’s reference to one of my posts<\/a>, I found a really cool programmatic innovation through one of her<\/i> posts (such is the way the weblog world works). The DAISY<\/a> system provided by New Haven’s International Festival of Arts & Ideas encourages visitors to explore the entire content of the festival through many different angles: genres, events, themes, and artists.<\/p>\n

\"daisy.jpg\"<\/a>DAISY (aka, ”Dynamic Arts & Ideas Search Yielder”) offers a branching graphic view of the festival programs. With a specific event at its center (like a Liz Lerman lecture<\/a>, for example), the graphic offers related artists, events, themes, and genres…each of which can be selected to become the new<\/i> center of the exploration.<\/p>\n

It’s an intriguing response to an age-old problem in cultural programming — how to slice, dice, and segment a season or series of events in a way that simplifies choice, but doesn’t presume a particular bias (clustered by genre, or artist, or discipline, or even price). DAISY seems to allow for multiple entry paths, and to encourage a more organic approach to the material for the prospective audience.<\/p>\n

I’ll be really interested to see how festival-goers use the system, and whether it leads them to find or select events they might not have otherwise connected.<\/p>\n

Thanks Lex!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
