Arts Council (UK) Digital Content Snapshot

MUST READ!!!

These lot know their stuff...wonder if Ozco will catch up?


    Digital opportunities is one of the Arts Council's four priorities for 2008-2011. Part of the programme is a three year research programme. The research will perform three key functions:

    • Generating in depth knowledge of the way digital technology is changing the context in which artists, arts organisations and the Arts Council are operating

    • Providing a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges that this changing context creates for artists, arts organisations and the public

    • Identifying where the Arts Council could intervene in order to create most public value

Issues to be investigated include:

  • the impact of digital technology on how the public perceive, understand and engage with the arts

  • how digital technology is transforming art and artistic practice

  • the implications for content creation, distribution and ownership
