What is ‘Arts 2.0′?
Filed Under Arts 2.0 |
What we want to do is to define and document how the profound social changes that have happened as a result of digitalization affect artists and artistic culture.
The thesis in a sentence:
The arts are no longer static offerings passed down from an assumed position of authority. Instead, they are now the starting point for engagement.
The thesis in a paragraph:
In the 20th Century, mastery of music, theatre, dance and visual arts was presented as the untouchable pinnacle of high cultural expression.
In the early 21st Century, new technologies are creating a new context in which the arts can be seen and understood. The relevance of artistic culture is now defined by a new paradigm of networked creative interactions between millions of people. They are no longer passive consumers of the arts, but they also engage with the creative process themselves.
This new dynamic demands that contemporary artists reconsider their position in a global, digitally connected society, and understand how their work sets trends, pushes the boundaries of possibility, and inspires communities of people around the world.
