Project Outputs

 The impact generated from the research includes academic publication, cultural policy commentary, media interviews, innovative teaching pedagogy and public lecture series. In particular, the social impacts are mainly four-folded:

1. Community Engagement: Cooperating with inter-generational community and integrating local art, culture and history can increase the audience's attention and recognition of conservation and strengthen the cultural identity of the community. Cultural policies are called upon to provide more digital infrastructure for facilitating cross-sector collaboration practices for artists and cultural practitioners.
2. Co-creation for art and culture: Through participating both online and offline art and cultural activities, public can participate in the process of co-creation, research, and interpretation, and jointly create and share knowledge and online stories. Narrowing digital gap is one of the keys to access the opportunities for home-based art engagement.
3. Digital Humanities: Art technology and artificial intelligence are more commonly used in customization of creative production and consumption. Digital media and AI literacy become more important for artists and creators. For instance, growing practices for museums, galleries, heritage sites to integrate virtual exhibitions, game experiences and digital learning to provide an interactive art tour and cultural heritage conservation experience.
4. Game-based Learning/ Game as Heritage: Digital literacy allows education to be more fun and everyday life. The introduction of game elements, such as competition, rewards, achievements, and rankings, can stimulate the interest and motivation of art and cultural heritage conservation audiences and increase their participation and commitment. On the other hand, video games are increasingly considered as a form of cultural heritage in major museums and its fandom motivates different forms of global creative economy.
