As physical restrictions disrupt our lives and our lifestyles shift to more virtual formats for work and leisure it’s easy to feel a sense of separation from our identities.

Has digital technology the potential to make art and culture more connected or a passing phenomenon? 

AI, VR, NFT, Blockchain… Let’s find out if digital tools are useful for the development of culture or do they take work from trained professionals? What are the pros and cons of digitalization?

How can the cultural, tourism and educational sectors  benefit from digitalisation? Do we have enough knowledge and skills? Does the experience feel  the same in digital world?How does digital culture help to reduce our footprint? Digital technology has the potential to make art and culture more connected.

The experts from Nordic countries, Estonia and other countries will help us understand what is reasonable to use and what to expect in the future.
