Art & Culture

What is digitalisation doing to people working in art and design? Whether music, metaverse, memes or museums, TikTok, touchscreen or theatre, Discord or data visualisation: let’s examine how digital developments are changing online culture, studios and ateliers, cultural enterprises and institutions.  

How have cybercultures changed since the early, playful days of the internet?
