Forschung & Entwicklung
Work processes of artists and accompanying, supporting or representing institutions are increasingly impacted by digitisation. How do cultural institutions react, and how may they pioneer new developments? This is a question that should not only be posed in regard to the new forms of communication and modes of expression changing the sphere by means of digital technology. It must also be asked which institutional and structural steps are necessary in anticipation of coming developments. The round table talk will feature representatives from cultural and educational institutions and from the arts, bringing them together to draw out fields of action and to rede ne them.
