Three Studies on Digital Culture
Digitalisation is changing and shaping the way in which art is made, brought to people and perceived by them today. Digital tools, AI applications, online platforms or the Metaverse, which can be accessed as a virtual space, open up new opportunities for artists to express their creativity, collaborate with others beyond the boundaries of physical space and make their works accessible to a global audience. The conditions under which they create art and earn a living are also affected. The digital metamorphoses in the art and culture sector bring opportunities, but also major challenges.
Three project teams were commissioned by TA-SWISS to investigate the impact of digitalisation on culture. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts investigated how artists are using digitalisation in music, theatre and visual design. The Swiss Music Council conducted a nationwide survey on the impact of digitalisation on music creation in Switzerland. And the Dezentrum analysed the discourse on the NFT landscape.
The three studies are not only available in classic report form: The content and results can also be discovered and experienced on a virtual platform, where an interactive space is dedicated to each of the studies. The impetus, conception and implementation came from the Dezentrum.
