Discoverability Is an Act of Agency: Rethinking Metadata as Cultural Infrastructure
Tammy Lee is the CEO and co-founder of Culture Creates, a company building digital infrastructure to support how arts and culture are represented and shared online. With a career spanning over 30 years—working with cultural institutions such as the PHI Foundation, Ex Machina, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music—she brings deep sector knowledge to the design of public-interest technology. Her current work focuses on developing semantic tools and systems that make cultural data more visible, reusable, and connected—ensuring that what’s meaningful in the arts remains discoverable in the digital world.
