Emerging Tech in Creative and Culture – Business

These innovations are reshaping industry boundaries and challenging conventional business models and practices. Technology is increasingly being used to create new forms of artistic expression, audience experience and creative practice. At the same time methods of developing and distributing creative products and services are being disrupted by new digital technology and a new generation of media consumers demanding more choice, more access and less cost.
