Visualising the Multimedia Archives of Bourges’s Institute of Electroacoustic Music
Abstract
This paper describes the properties and functionalities of the application we have created to retrace the story and evolution of international competitions organised by the Bourges’s Institute of Electroacoustic Music (IMEB) from 1973 to 2009 using a set of interactive data visualisations.
This set of interactive data visualisations serve different purposes: it provides multiple views of the database it allows to browse but also gives insights about navigation paths that have been previously taken to assist their users in their browsing experience. This set of interactive data visualisations represent an attempt to give access to the content of a digital archive, not only by considering its main properties, but also by gathering information about its past exploration using multi-agent systems.
