The production
The purpose of the production is to build a virtual prototype for Historic Districts Council, which through physical and virtual interaction educates and involves a community in preserving their neighbourhood.
The HDC will choose one specific New York neighbourhood, which acts as base for the prototype. The Cultural Production (Kristina & Mette) and New Media Design (Martin & Kenneth) students provide suggestions concerning the production of the virtual platform.
To raise awareness and interest in the virtual platform, we need to involve the community – not just as end users, but as participants in the production process.
To create a useful and engaging platform we need to locate specific areas of tangible/intangible culture (language/slang, fashion, meeting places, etc), which are representative for the essence of the community; and from that derive general assumptions on the neighbourhood culture as a whole. When mapping and documenting it is crucial to be selective in order to be significant. The HDC’s knowledge and competences are tremendously important in this.
