We address process inefficiencies with machine learning technologies, we design and test new technology, we produce empirical insights, and we publish and present research of the intersection of technology and culture. We are strongly committed to principles of transparency, privacy, and collaboration. We use free and open source technology and we collaborate with external researchers and our volunteer community.
