In the 21st century, new technologies, especially the Internet, have not only changed the industrial and production models all over the world, but also greatly influenced people’s ways of living and communication. 

As a result of the Internet’s interconnectivity and intelligence, the once-scattered cultural resources are now being consolidated through the integration of creativity, hardware, software and capital. An encompassing cultural ecosystem has now emerged.

The Theme Forum will discuss how the cultural and arts community should adhere to the social responsibility and humanistic concerns, while exploring the value and influence of arts in this Digital Age.
