Tools for Culture: The Resonance & Use of Online Tools in the Cultural Sector
LabforCulture's latest Research in focus, 'Tools for Culture' presents an overview of how the cultural sector is (or is not) taking up online technology tools for collaboration across Europe.
In the context of LabforCulture’s experiences in developing its own online community space, as well as feedback received during workshops conducted across Europe over the last years, LabforCulture has identified a need for an in-depth research mapping to give an overview of how the cultural sector is (or is not) taking up the use of online tools for collaboration. Despite the fact that operators in the media art field have been actively using, pushing the limits of and contributing to the discourse around the cultural uses of technology for several decades, there is still an amount of work, training, and knowledge exchange to be undertaken in the rest of the cultural sector to foster a better understanding of the latest socio-technological movements and developments. The challenges expressed in relation to the use of the technologies have wide ranging implications for the sector, from policy to practice to audience development.
In order to begin to position these issues in context and provide a framework to encourage a wider understanding of the potential of these technologies for the sector at all levels, LabforCulture commissioned a research mapping of the existing and ongoing research related to the use of online tools for collaboration in the cultural sector, as a first step in identifying what areas could benefit from more in-depth research and analysis in the short and long term.
