项目摘要

Rapid advances in digital technologies have converged with research in business, social science and humanities to dissolve the boundaries between disciplines, institutions and practices. The Digital Economy Communities and Culture Network+ (CCNetwork+) engages with transformations in these different streams of research, bringing them together with a wider public through direct engagements, innovative methods and digital resources. Advances in digital technologies have also brought about the transformation of cultural institutions such as libraries, museums, schools, media and arts centres, whose interactions with their users, researchers, and information 'itself', is increasingly digital. As a direct consequence, the notion of 'culture' as a static resource or located place is no longer tenable. A third transformation has been in the concept of 'community', as interest groups, social/political capital, and connectivity are mediated, produced and reconfigured in different ways through social and other digital media. These new and converging frontiers of knowledge and communication mark the CCNetwork+ as a timely and crucial intervention into a shifting digital landscape. Digital technologies are not just impacting on a meta level, however, they are also felt through everyday experiences. Digital technologies have become so embedded into our daily lives that it is impossible to imagine daily interactions without them. Cultural and social exchanges now occur through mobile devices; personal and cultural artifacts are stored virtually rather than in particular places, and the products that circulate at greater speed and intensity are being read, downloaded and appropriated in new and innovative ways. The successful user of digital technology is now posing real critical questions in terms of civic engagement, investment in community, or even a wider social or political efficacy. Pervasive media and technology means that these wider shifts are no longer based on-screen but are integrated into everyday life and the very fabric of urban and rural environments and institutions. At a policy level, the ubiquity of digital technologies have sparked a range of reactive legislation that attempts to deal with the fast pace of information flows, concerns about intellectual property, and copyright issues. The impacts brought on by the convergence of digital technology, culture, and practice raise real questions around how and what communities and cultures might/could/should be understood. Indeed, when our everyday experiences are seen in conjunction with the industrial, social, on-the ground and policy responses to the digital economy, it is clear that digital technologies are changing forever how we understand and engage in community and culture. Despite the speed and intensity of digital transformation that has marked our lives on every level, it is vital that we do more than simply react to it if we are to understand, and shape, changes that are determining culture and community in profound ways. The CCNetwork+ Project is designed to facilitate this. It is an ambitious intervention into a landscape marked by fast pace and innovative technologies. We aim to produce creative and response led activities that directly speak to the speed and scope of digital technological change while simultaneously critically interrogating it. Working with the communities and cultures to which and through which we speak, and using a range of methods including action research, critical investigation, sociological analysis, co-production (crowd source/public knowledge projects), pilot technology and code projects, we will directly intervene in policy initiatives, shape practice, refigure the moral and ethical issues of this environment, and identify dangers, risks, opportunities and evolutions.

数字技术的快速发展与商业、社会科学和人文科学的研究融合在一起，消除了学科、机构和实践之间的界限。数字经济社区和文化网络+（CCNetwork+）致力于这些不同研究领域的转型，通过直接参与、创新方法和数字资源将它们与更广泛的公众联系在一起。数字技术的进步也带来了图书馆、博物馆、学校、媒体和艺术中心等文化机构的转变，这些机构与用户、研究人员和信息“本身”的互动越来越数字化。作为一个直接的后果，“文化”作为一个静态的资源或地点的概念不再站得住脚。第三个转变是“社区”概念的转变，因为利益集团、社会/政治资本和连通性通过社交及其他数字媒体以不同的方式进行调解、产生和重新配置。这些新的知识和通信前沿的融合标志着CCNetwork+是对不断变化的数字环境的及时和关键的干预。数字技术不仅在Meta层面上产生影响，而且还通过日常体验感受到。数字技术已经如此深入我们的日常生活，以至于无法想象没有它们的日常互动。文化和社会交流现在通过移动的设备进行;个人和文化文物以虚拟方式储存，而不是储存在特定地点，以更快的速度和强度流通的产品正在以新的创新方式被阅读、下载和占用。数字技术的成功使用者现在提出了真实的关键问题，包括公民参与、社区投资，甚至更广泛的社会或政治效能。无处不在的媒体和技术意味着这些更广泛的转变不再基于屏幕，而是融入日常生活以及城乡环境和机构的结构。在政策层面，数字技术的普及引发了一系列反应性立法，试图应对信息流的快速发展、对知识产权和版权问题的担忧。数字技术、文化和实践的融合所带来的影响，提出了关于如何以及什么样的社区和文化可能/可以/应该被理解的真实的问题。事实上，当我们的日常经验与数字经济的工业，社会，实地和政策反应结合起来时，很明显，数字技术正在永远改变我们理解和参与社区和文化的方式。尽管数字化转型的速度和强度在各个层面上都标志着我们的生活，但如果我们要理解和塑造以深刻方式决定文化和社区的变化，我们就必须做更多的事情，而不仅仅是简单地做出反应。CCNetwork+项目旨在促进这一点。这是对以快节奏和创新技术为标志的景观的雄心勃勃的干预。我们的目标是产生创造性和反应主导的活动，直接与数字技术变革的速度和范围对话，同时批判性地质疑它。与我们所谈论的社区和文化合作，并使用一系列方法，包括行动研究，批判性调查，社会学分析，联合制作（众包/公共知识项目）、试点技术和代码项目，我们将直接干预政策举措，塑造实践，重新定义这一环境的道德和伦理问题，并识别危险、风险、机遇和演变。
