One of the key themes of UK/Indonesia 2016-18 is Digital Culture, focusing on the potential of digital technologies to enhance audience reach and invent new audience experiences.
In March 2016, seven UK artists with a wide range of experience in digital and interactive arts visited Indonesia to explore ways that the UK and Indonesia could work together to imagine a creative digital future.
Through networking activities, mini-residencies, a prototyping lab and three public events, the Digital Culture Visit encouraged discussions, sharing of experiences and stimulated brand new collaborations between the UK and Indonesia around the use of digital technologies in art.
Some of the themes that emerged included questions around funding, planning, collective working and sharing resources, art and science, public space, the philosophical implications of technological change and the role of art in this context, skills sharing, the environment and participatory practice.
