Project Internal Team: >- - Project “Wizard” (Person that acts as a supervisor for the whole project >and plays a general overseeing role ensuring its development; is critical >for its overall development and success; inspires the on going process of >the work; negotiates with the external team) >- - Project “Anima” (Person that enlivens the spirit and the concept of the >project; is responsible for the ongoing process, defines the needs and the >steps; contacts and communicates with the other participant art centers; >cooperates with the artists and the other people who are working for the >site) >- - Project “Equilibrium Finder” (Person responsible to define the core >functionality and the architecture of the site. He needs to address the >needs of the audience visiting the site and to define the user experience. >As the site aims to create a web community , his task is to oversee its >development and keep the content of the site close both to its concept and >the needs of its users) >- - Project “Web Monster” (Equivalent to the Web Master but in a more extreme >sense. Person that takes the material on the area and rebuilds it; creates >the virtual neighbourhood that will be mostly based to the energy and the >fantasy of a place; edits the pieces together and subtracts anything >needless as trash, traffic signs or moody passengers…) > >2. Project External Team: >- - Artists (Architect, Musician, Video Artist, Photographer,...)The >participation of artists is essential. It is preferable if they live or work >in the area. Their work inspired by the place can greatly influence the >development and the content of the site. e.g. a musician can capture and >record sounds from the vicinity. >- - Residents (Texts, photos by current habitants and newcomers ) >- - Old people (Testimonies and thoughts from the past generation creating a >documentation on the internet of their view of the world, a world that fades >away) >- - Professionals (Reference to traditional professions that may be preserved >in the area from the past till nowadays) >- - Kids (Words, pictures, photographs taken by children will be included) > > > > >The virtual neighbourhoods will need to form a workgroup with a similar >structure. Persons taking the positions of the Project Equilibrium Finder >and the Project Web Monster may not be needed for the participant centers as >the overall development of the site lies mainly to Fournos’ >responsibilities. The material gathered by the centers will be processed and >edited within Fournos Lab. However, the process of the material by a site >designer or an internal technical team can surely help before the data >reaches our technical support team. It is important to notice that all work >will take place within the center and that no external private company will >undertake the designing, construction and maintenance of the site. This is >to avoid any advertising interventions as well as possible alterations in >the content and appearance of the site. As the ongoing administration, >maintenance and modification of the site will be kept in-house, it becomes >clear that a close and steady cooperation between the participant centers >is necessary. A dynamic and creative network needs to be created that will >present several and different images of the various neighborhoods. > >Features of the project >The site will be the main feature of the project as it will represent the >network of the neighbouhoods belonging to the new community. Each >participant neighbourhood will be represented virtually on the net. All >material gathered by the project team as images, texts and videos will be >accessible to users entering the site. From the first page a photo-picture >of the vicinity will offer links to all possible next steps. The user will >be able to click on several spots such as buildings, roads and people and >discover features related to the area. By clicking, for instance, on a >person appearing on the screen a video or a small text will pop up where the >particular resident will be saying his personal thoughts and memories, his >favorite place on the area etc. The profile of the resident, his name, age >and profession will be stated, giving the sense of a new acquaintance to the >people visiting the area. (e.g. Alison Parker, artist // Nick Papadakis, >student, 12 yrs old). Our aim is to give the info on the area mainly >through its residents. This is to avoid forming a mere archive or a database >on the area and to help creating a site that enlivens a particular space and >brings it closer to people’s eyes and mind. > >A variety of information can be provided. If a person names also his >favorite food, a picture of it can be included and the recipe can also be >given.

The >network created will enable users to pass at any moment from one >neighbourhood to another, as there will be a common general pattern for all >vicinities.

If they wish, they can also complete their own personal >profile, adding their interests and other characteristics. This will help >create an archive of profiles that will enable future communication. After >logging in, the user can visit the several neighbourhoods he wishes and view >what’s on line. > >The travelling exhibition and the other events >An exhibition focusing on the distinctive features of the participating >neighbouhoods will be scheduled in the future time that will be hosted in >succession by the participant art centers. Along with the exhibition, other >events will be programmed each time; installations, performances, art events >and happenings will take place in several spots of a neighbourhood and >enliven it. These events will have a major contribution in the acquaintance >and the cooperation of the different areas. Artists will be invited to work >in the venues of the different neighbourhoods and work on projects that will >be co-curated by more than one art centers. The participation of the people >of the areas will also be essential.
