E-Culture and Arts for Intelligent Cities – Workshop

E-Culture and Arts for Intelligent Cities

Digital access to cultural assets offers the opportunity for a variety of actors to engage into a discourse on cultural identities, and to form and link city-level cultural communities based on a shared interest of understanding, interpreting and exploiting culture. These Communities foster the co-working and co-creation of citizens, researchers, students, tourists, pupils and enterprises on specific cultural heritage that, when interlinked, will create an eCulture eco-system.
Local aggregators or cultural offices of municipalities are driving forces in Smart City concepts and in the funding of cultural activities. Municipalities organize city cultural life and are responsible for the implementation of projects which allow citizens to access and engage with digital cultural heritage. The aim of this workshop is to explore relevant areas of common interest, exchange best practice solutions and cooperate in joint projects.
