Spelunking: Exploring The History of The Cave and Its Musicians

About This Project

This website contains the final results of our Hacking the Humanities final project. This website has a timeline outlining the artists that have played at the Cave and a network analysis, seeking the connections between artists that have played at the Cave. From this timeline and network we are able to see both how Carleton student’s music taste have evolved and how the types of music and artists connect across the years. Explore the tabs above to see our data, processes, network, timeline, and our findings.

  • Project Update: Personal Statement
