“…While the integration of real and virtual worlds unfolds, the built virtual world underscored by AI, ML, MR and XR encompasses human experience across a range of states of being and consciousness (Bowen et al 2018;2019;2022c), with the arts taking the lead. Whereas digital culture was inscribed by digital objects and legacy systems, in a computational world our life and identity, real and virtual, have become deeply embedded in a computational ecosystem that is altering the nature of human experience, person-to-person interactions, and ways of performing and understanding.…”

A book on the arts and computational culture, edited by the two authors of this paper, is planned for publication in 2024, as a follow-up to a previous 2019 book on museums and digital culture. The book is to be structured in a series of parts, each with several contributed chapters. This paper surveys each of these areas to provide a landscape view of the overall topic and a brief conclusion on future directions by the authors. What distinguishes this book from others, is its focus on computational culture, a more dynamic area of digital culture with real-time interactions typically in immersive environments, most notably the Metaverse. Recent AI developments such as ChatGPT for textual interaction and DALL.E 2 for image generation are also considered. Overall, this paper presents some of the aspects planned to be covered in the new book.

The Italian Renaissance started a rebirth of culture and knowledge not experienced since Roman times. Leonardo da Vinci was arguably the leading polymath of the era. We are now in the throes of a Digital Renaissance, arguably started by Alan Turing in England. This paper draws some parallels between these two periods and speculates on the future of digital developments, especially in the context of the EVA Florence conference in Italy and the EVA London conference in the UK.

“…This paper builds on joint work by the authors, particularly in the context of the annual EVA London Conference on Electronic Visualisation and the Arts, together with a 2019 book on Museums and Digital Culture [1]. In particular, the authors have organized symposia at EVA London conferences [2], annually since 2016, with panelists from a diverse set of backgrounds, including many with academic and curatorial experience [3][4][5][6][7][8] This symposium series initially started in association with the Pratt Institute London Summer School, with an emphasis on digital culture in museums [9,10]. Aspects of digital culture have continued as a theme, most recently considering identity in the digital arts, crossing between reality and virtuality, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on developments in this area, including a museum curator and exhibition organizer [8].…”

Museums increasingly recognize the need to address advances in digital culture which impact the expectations and needs of their audiences. Museum collections of real objects need to be presented both on their own premises and digitally online, especially as social media becomes more and more influential in people’s everyday lives. We investigate these challenges magnified by advances in digital and computational media and culture looking particularly at recent and relevant reports on changes in the ways museums interact with the public. We find that the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated many of the changes driving museum transformation. We believe that museums must be more prepared than ever to adapt to unabated technological advances set in the midst of cultural and social revolution, now intrinsic to the digital landscape in which museums are inevitably connected and participating across the global digital ecosystem where they inevitably find themselves entrenched.
