Ever wondered why people write blogs and who is out there in the cultural blogging scene? With the opening up of media channels in the past five years and independent publishing becoming technically more possible, blogging has become one of the most steadfast mediums to distribute commentary. LabforCulture asked Annette Wolfsberger, a producer, project manager and researcher in the fields of media arts, contemporary & popular culture, to talk to the current cultural blogging personalities heading up cultural discourse online and we are publishing the results in the new Research in focus, Cultural blogging in Europe.
From April through to June, LabforCulture will publish a series of in-depth interviews with personalities in the cultural blogging scene: looking at what motivates them to post, how it affects their creativity, how they market their blog and what kind of sustainability models they employ?
The first two interviews carried out by Annette Wolfsberger begin with Claire Welsby, of InterventTech.net, based in London, who is a media producer for The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Michelle Kasprzak, of Curating.info, based in Edinburgh, who is currently a Visual Arts Officer for the Scottish Arts Council. Both blogs have been running for several years and contribute to today’s cultural scene. Go here to see the first two interviews.
