This research-based book investigates the effects of digital transformation on the cultural and creative sectors. Through cases and examples, the book examines how artists and art institutions are facing the challenges posed by digital transformation, highlighting both positive and negative effects of the phenomenon.

With contributions from an international range of scholars, the book examines how digital transformation is changing the way the arts are produced and consumed.
