For this biennale, meetingroom raises the question on “how people share knowledge and information on online platforms in the digital media environment”, and operates the Open Research Station, which consists of a “meetingroom”, an “indexroom”, and “FAQ”. Using a web application, the “FAQ” is the meetingroom’s mid-to long-term research project examining the potential of open research. The project proceeds in three steps: pre-research, analysis and commentaries, and publication. “FAQ” experiments with participatory research and potential collaborations by collecting and analyzing the participators’ questions on creation, exhibition, appreciation, distribution, and research in the field of art, and by listening to the comments or opinions of experts. In this exhibition, meetingroom advances pre-research, the first step of the process.
