Transition To 8 · Looking for a team to collect and analyse data

For the European project Transition To 8, we are looking for a sociodramatist, a psychologist or anthropologist and a video annotation specialist.

The collected data are analysed by computer and social scientists; then they are integrated into digital moodboards in the form of: raw data, visual material, text, graphs, sonifications and visualisations. Those digital moodboards will be given to artists to integrate data into creating original artworks. More information on the project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2MGDh03wdM 

Working as part of an interdisciplinary and international team, these different profiles will be responsible for leading two sociodrama sessions on the subject of air pollution, and for collecting, processing and analysing the participants’ data. The aim is to prepare a comprehensive dataset that can be shared with the artists.
