Art and Technology Incubation in the Northwest

Survey


The Pacific NW is home to a highly innovative, creative and entrepreneurial community. This community is comprised of individuals from many disciplines employing digital, interactive, social, mobile and gaming technologies…inventing new products, creating new art forms, exploring new narrative and curatorial platforms, and leveraging expansive social networks. Chances are, this is your community.

Through this survey, BRINC (Bel-Red Incubator) and Seattle’s Dorkbot are collaborating to explore ways to improve resources for people working at the convergence of art, technology, community, and the built environment.

As you proceed through the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about your demographic information, creative uses of technology, studio/work space, current living situation, participation in the arts/technology communities of the Pacific NW, and preferences and needs for work and living space.

If you live in the Pacific Northwest and if you use technology as a creative medium in your projects* please complete the following survey.

Please note your responses are completely anonymous. Feel free to skip any questions to which you feel uncomfortable responding. This questionnaire should take 5-10 minutes to complete.
