The “Centre For Arts Tape – Discoverability Project” began in 2019 as a response to our perception that the evolving technological landscape of artist-run-centres in Canada was changing. We noticed that information flow and dissemination was no longer primarily supported through conventional website technologies. The new world order was replete with new mobile initiatives and applications. At that moment, we responded by envisioning the development of a new process or application that would help us:

• communicate with existing supporters
• establish new and wider audience bases
• foster collaboration between arts partners
• allow art centres to embrace their digital futures

With the support of the Canada Council Digital Strategy Fund, we partnered with The Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta (FAVA) and embarked on this ambitious multi-phase project. An important aspect of the project was an extensive consultation prior to the development phase. The purpose of this was to ensure the project proceeded from a perspective of sector-wide needs, with a strong vision for knowledge-based planning. We envisioned four phases of exploration.
