“…Extending physical reality in museums using VR, AR, MR, and 3D awaits broader use and regularization. Where VR has been cultivated to a high degree to enhance visitor experience, for example the 2018 Modigliani Exhibition at the Tate Modern, the Louvre's Mona Lisa Exhibition as part of the 2019 da Vinci Exhibition celebrating 500 years since his death [4], it has received wonderful results and wide acclaim. For both of these exhibitions, the museums partnered with VIVE Arts.…”

When Covid-19 rushed into our lives, it sent shockwaves across the globe – suddenly we faced “lockdown” – we said goodbye to the way it was but did not understand what this brave new world of isolation and separation would mean and how it would the impact life as we knew it – our identity, relationships and freedoms we enjoyed, and wondered what daily routine post-Covid-19 would look like, while the experiences defining life itself were up for grabs. With social distancing, masks and work from home mandates, the arts and performing arts from theatres, museums, galleries and the public square were shuttered – their very existence challenged and spiralling out of control as staff were laid-off, exhibitions cancelled while concurrently creating an urgency to go online to dwell in cyberspace, the new daily destination.

“…Alan Turing has continued to be an inspiration for digital culture long after his death (Bowen 2016;Bowen et al 2018;Giannini & Bowen 2017). There are similarities in his influence with that of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), the much earlier Italian Renaissance polymath (Giannini & Bowen 2020a;2020b). In 2019, Turing won a BBC public vote for the greatest person of the 20 th century; in the televised final, Chris Packham gave an empathic and rousing tribute for Turing (Bowen 2019):…”

The condition of digitality and the associated concept of digitalism are increasingly important today. Our ever-more digital societal context means that many are experiencing a digital life where reality and digitality blur in their distinction in many people's digital lives. This paper considers these aspects with respect to digital culture, especially in the context of heritage and museums. In particular, we look at developments since a previous 2014 paper by the authors and speculate on possible future developments. We focus especially on the reality check provided by the Covid-19 pandemic, that has accelerated societal digitality.

“…Chapter 1 presents the polymathic Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) as an Italian Renaissance icon, exploring human existence and beyond. It illustrates how Leonardo da Vinci seamlessly merged art and science, shaping a new conceptual framework that continues to inspire the AI revolution [8]. In Chapter 2, Évariste Galois (1811-1832) and his circle are presented, covering mathematics, Romanticism, and the revolutionary times in France, especially Paris.…”

A significant transformation is providing a defining moment in the 21st century, propelled by the convergence of computational culture, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). This coming together is sparking a revolutionary phase for arts and culture, with the potential to influence human existence and global society profoundly. The rise of the Metaverse, characterized by extended reality (XR) and related immersive virtual environments, holds considerable promise. With these advancements, the boundaries between reality and virtuality are merging like never before. A new book aims to be among the pioneering works exploring the context, intricacy, and ramifications of this multifaceted phenomenon comprehensively. It strives to engage readers intimately while presenting a comprehensive viewpoint. As digital culture evolves into computational culture, we find ourselves in a digital era transitioning from two-dimensional to three-dimensional realms. Traditional flat displays of the Internet and smartphones are evolving into immersive digital landscapes. Simultaneously, new technologies and AI are increasingly being incorporated into various aspects of daily life, including the domains of arts and education. This paper presents an overview of the book, covering these various aspects of the arts and computational culture.
