algorithms contribute to shared responses to societal challenges?

Working Group 3 - Reference frameworks

What dynamics in next-generation platforms are distributing cultural products and the results of artistic research? Are they practically extending to involve rich media as well as forms of expression that cannot be reduced to text? What are the current taxonomies in use and how can they be improved?
