Samenvatting
The idea of the Creative City has encouraged planners to develop cultural policies to support creative economies, city branding, urban identity and urban quality. On the other side, the concept of Smart City introduced the possibility to create, collect and analyse data to inform decisions on cities. The two city agendas overlap in different ways, creating a Smart cultural city nexus, that propose similar goals and mixed methodologies, like the possibility to inform planning processes with big data-based technologies. In line with this direction, we introduced conceptual and methodological tools: The first tool is the definition of Hybrid Art Spaces, the second tool is the Singapore Art Maps (SAM), which uses social media data to locate art venues in cities (Tomarchio et al. 2016); the third tool is the Social Media Art Model, which establishes a relationship between social media production and art venues features. While these tools have already shown interesting analytics outcomes (Tomarchio et al. 2016), it is important to validate their utility among practitioners and to set protocols of practices. This paper presents results from semi-structured interviews and a focus group, as a first step towards assessing the usefulness of our three tools for cultural planning practice.

The different practitioners comment on the tools and define a part of their activity or a general goal which would likely be supported by the use of the tools. One main criticism is the current lack of diversification both of the type of art production and the type of audiences. There are different urges to produce art, and while commercial art strives to attract wider audiences and therefore to be visible in maps, other productions are only limited to smaller audiences and minority communities that often do not wish to appear on social media. There is a subtle threshold between visibility and need for invisibility, where social media and social maps play an unknown role which might not be auspicious. ”Some artists don’t want to be called artists. Then those who want to be seen and called artists are interested in making art for everyone and selling.” (UP) Art practitioners and curators recognise SAM’s potential to research alternative locations and venues, which is supported by the tool’s Emergences. Singapore’s art scene lacks a variety of venues, besides official ones, and the tool can offer alternatives. ”For much of the past 15 years these sites, especially independent artists’ initiatives, diminish in the wake of large-scale institutionalisations, including the development of the National Gallery, the Art Stage Fair, the Art Science Museum and Gillman Barracks.” (AM) ”I think it is very useful. Not necessarily for big institutions but for art planners, art event companies that are looking for other attendants. But what is important is to ensure that it is reachable. If it is not reachable, and you are targeting families, they will not come because it is too complicated. If it is to target for the young people, they are pretty mobile, they can easily move then that is okay.” (ED) Other activities to be supported by the tools would be Museum Planning (ED), which is the planning activity to support the foundation of a new museum, including establishing the museum vision, in reference to existing ones. Other practitioners (AM) consider the tools useful to calculate cultural events impact, to gather further support from stakeholders and investors.
