Data Sets

Building spatial and cultural intelligence will involve both gathering new information about how we utilize and move through the world as well as mining existing data sets that can help provide that information. This involves both examining data sets that are already being used to generate spatial intelligence that can guide digitally powered experiences and devices (i.e. warehouses, flight plans, shipping channels, etc.) as well as examining data sets that are currently offline, not structured in an actionable manner, and generally overlooked (i.e. archives, music catalogs, travel logs, visitor behavior, etc.). In doing so, it will be important to organize these sets as they relate to different types of space and their use in order to ultimately arrive at a better understanding of this union between space and use. Ultimately, this will allow for a latent tool that can be called upon in specific instances to guide action–ideally making such actions more efficient and sustainable. Given that our ultimate interest is in serving cultural producers, the data sets that we research will largely be those that we feel can benefit this community.

Call to Action

If you are working within one of these areas and have access to a data set that you think aligns, we would love to connect! We are actively building a repository of data while also embarking on the necessary steps to structure that data in such a way that it can be used to model space and culture. Ultimately, this data will play an essential role in the construction of the next generation of large world and large cultural models.
