Biomodd Survey Data


BIOMODD PARTICIPATION SURVEY

Responses in this survey are used in the journal article “Biomodd: the integration of art into transdisciplinary research practices” by Kuchner et al., published in GAIA Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society (May 2023).
We surveyed participants of Biomodd [BRG13] and previous Biomodd instances to gauge past and current Biomodd processes. An initial email was sent with the online survey information and link on 20 April 2021. Follow-up emails were sent after two weeks and again before closing the survey following the best practices (Dillman et al. 2014). The participant group included, amongst others, academic researchers, art and design practitioners, engineers, and technologists from Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia. The survey consisted of nine open-ended questions and participants could avoid responding to some of the questions and could complete or exit the survey at any point.
