My name is Reiko Pleau and I’m writing as a student member of the ACA, because I am currently recruiting survey participants for a research study on digital storage, as part of an internship I am completing at 221A’s Node Library, throught the Mitacs Accelerate program, and under the supervision of Dr. Victoria Lemieux of UBC's iSchool and Blockchain@UBC.

Details:

As part of its pilot phase, the Node Library is engaging in the research and development of a digital storage system prototype utilizing the network infrastructure of decentralized protocols.

We’re conducting a short (5-10 minutes) anonymous survey to understand how arts and cultural heritage workers use digital storage technologies in order to inform the development of a web3 storage system for our sector.

If you are interested in participating, please complete the survey by August 5, 2024!

Warmly,
