changes in behaviours; sentiments; COVID-19; pandemic, forward planning across the sector.
The Australia Council is working with Patternmakers and WolfBrown to understand changes in behaviours and sentiments of arts-goers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, to support decision-making and forward planning across the sector.

COVID-19 Audience Outlook Monitor report
global study to track audience sentiment in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Creative Victoria is part of a global study to track audience sentiment in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The COVID-19 Outlook Monitor research is being conducted over three stages to understand how audiences feel about engaging with, and returning to, creative events and venues. The study also explores the measures that will make people feel more comfortable about returning.

The creative industries in days of isolation – a fast pace shift to making, learning and living in a crisis
Presentation at "ARTiculate: Communicating your research in the Fine Arts and Music", Hosted by the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, University of Melbourne, 2020-11-26 We are witnessing a cultural and pedagogical evolution. The unprecedented societal shift triggered by the current health crisis has sparked rapid changes in to how we learn, teach, exhibit and engage. This shift is epitomised in the arts, creative industries, and education sectors. Almost overnight, these sectors have been compelled to creatively adapt their norms, pedagogies, and practices to navigate the new normal. These rapid changes have not gone undocumented. The mass shift to, and engagement with, online platforms has left digital footprints in the form of data. This data is both a source of information, and a limitless opportunity for asking questions and posing problems about shifts in practice and changes to use through identifying patterns of behaviours and engagement trends. This research traces these digital footprints to understand cultural evolution in a time of crisis. As a multi-faculty and interdisciplinary collaboration between FFAM, MGSE, MDAP, CSHE, and SCIP, we are placing data- driven, research led practice at the centre of our inquiry. In this presentation we will discuss data in two contexts. First, how data generated within UoM platforms, such as Canvas, can be used by tutors/teachers to feedback into their practice. Second, what data generated in the creative industry and GLAM sectors more broadly is telling us about the response, trends, and practices in times of crisis. This presentation will outline our research collaboration and introduce our curated, publicly available data.

This digital introduction to #Datacreativites draws from visual and auditory sources that epitomise our collaboration. The summary text of our collaboration is mirrored, highlighted, and disrupted by a ZOOM theme ostinato and compilation of the 34 gifs that have populated our Teams correspondence thus far. The ZOOM theme permeates the introduction and drives it forward, providing momentum in the same way that it enabled this collaboration to exist. The theme is incessant and jarring, just as ZOOM has proven to be over the long months of lockdown. As both a feature and a distracting layer of comic relief, each gif that we have individually sent to the group through Teams to punctuate or express our moods at any given time is used at least once, and often several times. Each gif is paired to the introduction text to visually highlight its message. These gifs are reminders of moments of angst, encouragement or excitement during our collaborative research journey. The ZOOM theme was recorded from my computer while working from home during Melbourne’s long second lockdown during COVID-19, and the sound of the 75 tram can be heard passing by; the tram doesn’t stop, as it rarely did during those lockdown months. The percussive and string sounds were created using my violin, again while working from home. The overall composition is raw and unpolished, reflecting my ineptitude at using GarageBand and Camtasia, the unusual metre of the ZOOM theme (5/4 time, yet not quite on the beat!), and the challenges that arise from creating in a professional/personal work/home mashup environment. We acknowledge that we live and work on the lands of the Wurundjeri people who have been custodians of this land for thousands of years and acknowledge and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. On these lands that hold stories across time and space, #Datacreativities is a co-lab of interdisciplinary digital research at UoM. Through a cross faculty University of Melbourne partnership we examine what #datacreative learning looks like in a pandemic and can look like post-pandemic using digital feedback loops.
Art Creative Arts, Media and Communication Curriculum and Pedagogy Education
To make sense of data, and to cite data and its relationship to theory and method I draw. I draw the spaces between as I think. I draw the lines that navigate from site to site, thinking with and seeing through allows me to sense-make and make-sense. While wandering and wondering with data I create new spaces for the data. New opportunities to think about art as data, and data as art. To think about the practices and relationships of research to practice. Digital drawing, painting. Procreate, 3-4 October, 2020
Creative Arts, Media and Communication Curriculum and Pedagogy
The relationship between activity, platform, and data trace is captured withing the system of (inter)actions – a framework for understanding the association between desired goals and the mediums through which these are realised (Spreadborough et al., forthcoming). By applying the principles of the system of (inter)action to the present discussion of tools and techniques in this document, we can better understand how we came to choose different platforms. Additionally, we may develop a stronger understanding of what motivates others in education and creative industries to choose certain platforms, which may lead us to uncover data traces that inform our examination of how education and creative industries sectors are showing resilience in the face of Covid-19.
COVID-19 Impact on Cultural Industries April Snapshot
On 8 April 2020, Culture Counts launched its research initiative regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the cultural industries, this snapshot provides a summary of the responses received so far.
The COVID-19 Impact on Cultural Industries survey was designed in collaboration with Performing Arts Connections Australia.
