Kaptur interview questions (final version)
1. Kaptur project - interview questions November 2011-11-01
Preparation/Introduction (before the recorder is switched on)
Ensure that you are aware of the interview participant's work. Begin by introducing Kaptur and what
we are trying to achieve with these interviews - the purpose is to find out about the nature of 'visual
arts research data', but also to inform how we could better support visual arts researchers.
1. Scope of 'visual arts research data' or 'processes/materials'
Please tell me about how you create art, the process, and the different stages?
Please describe the sites where the data creation occurs? (e.g. studio, different types of
computer)
Please describe the relationships between the processes/materials and the finished
artwork/s? (e.g. is it clear what is 'research data' and what is a 'research output'?)
How do you feel about the value of your research data? (perception and any examples of
comments made by others)
2. The role of the visual arts researcher
What are the processes/materials that you have control over?
What are the processes/materials which require you to rely on, or collaborate with, others?
If you collaborate with others, who are these collaborators? (roles, and internal or external to
the institution)
How clear are the boundaries between different aspects of your work? (e.g. variety of roles as
researcher, lecturer/tutor, commercial external work, project work etc)
3. Ownership and Rights
Who do you consider owns your research data (as opposed to research outputs)? (e.g. you,
funder, public, collaborators)
How do you manage your, and others, copyright in your research?
How do you handle ethical aspects of your research? (i.e. any sensitivity or confidentiality
restrictions)
How do you manage commercial aspects of your research? (e.g. Knowledge Transfer
Information from University)
4. Collaboration and knowledge sharing
How do you currently access or obtain visual arts research data that has been created by
others?
Could your own research data be reused or repurposed by others?
Where do you store your research data? Who are they accessible to? (e.g. department,
collaborators, the whole university)
What would enable greater access to your research data?
5. Access for the longer term
What do you want students of your work to be able to access in 10 or 50 years time?
How do you decide what to keep and for how long?
