Per the project proposal we have been designing a very simple secure platform for video collaboration that allows uploads and file analysis, including transcription and translation of audio and video files. This work is ongoing and has been designed in conjunction with a number of participating researcher workshops, including one in Gothenburg and Stockholm April 21-28. For this reason we will apply for continuation in order to implement next design and functionality testing phases. Testing in the past year has included a number of languages and file formats and compression and audio bitrates to test functionality, which is working. We can report the transcription tools currently operate at a higher level than the integration of similar tools in market-leading video editors, with the caveat that this platform is not for editing but for tagging and transcribing. Resource usage is now close to the maximum of our allocation so it is a good time to renew and we feel we demonstrate appropriate use of NAISS resources. This research project explores contemporary visual art’s capacity to confront the social and ecological impact of global logistics infrastructures by assembling an international practice network and shared footage database as a research tool to work across geographic points of interest and generate a different visual or aesthetic approach toward storytelling around issues like global logistics and data/it infrastructures which are often not visible to the general public. The objective for the NAISS allocations is to experimentally develop a database of that can be collaboratively tagged with metadata and inserted into multiple video projects. No similar database model currently exists for distance-based collaborative team editing on multiple simultaneous projects. Note: the actual editing and primary storage happens outside NAISS resources, we request resources to work on the interface for the platform and in particular use computing resources to support transcription and translation automation. Aims of a broader project based on this prood-of-concept would include: 1. Convene a transnational resource group to develop models for collaboratively-produced media work that juxtaposes relevant sites and contexts, cultivates the trans-disciplinary potential of sound and moving image work, and facilitates encounters between artists, researchers, workers, and community organisations. 2. Draw on expertise of this resource network and commission test footage contributions by partnering local film crews with individuals and groups working or living near sites of logistical interest. 3. Design and implement a multilingual proof-of-concept platform as a research tool for project participants in different sites to collaborate on media project outcomes. NOTE: 1 and 2 are currently underway and at mid-stage progress and we rather urgently request NAISS support for number 3. Explanation: Per NAISS advising, we are submitting two linked applications, this proposal is for the Cloud part and a second proposal will cover the Compute part.
