Research theme · Culture is future
Innovation & digital
How do digital practices reshape the way culture is created, shared, discovered and sustained? This resource follows the technologies, enterprises and public questions behind that change.
The central questions
Technology changes the cultural ecosystem.
Digital innovation affects more than the tools used by artists and institutions. It changes access, attention, discovery, ownership and the relationship between cultural organisations and their audiences.
Access and discovery
How do platforms, connected devices and recommendation systems influence the way works are encountered?
Rights and value
How should intellectual property, personal data and sustainable creative work be understood in digital environments?
Research collection
Studies for a connected culture
From abundance to meaningful discovery
