Overview
This volume will be part of the Springer series, Digital Culture and 
Humanities: Challenges and Developments in a Globalized Asia (Series 
Editor: Tam, Kwok-kan). The aim of this series is to examine how 
digitization changes current cultural practices as well as the modes of 
thought in humanities subjects, such as art, literature, drama, music 
and popular culture (which includes comics, films, pop songs, 
television, animation, games, and mobile apps). It will also address the 
opportunities and challenges for scholarly research, industrial 
practices and education arising from the wide application of digital 
technologies in cultural production and consumption.

The wide use of digital technology facilitates the birth of new art 
forms and social media, which in turn have produced far-reaching 
implications for changing media ownership and its role in the political 
economy. Digital Media and Technologies: New Art Forms and New Media 
Spectacles aims to investigate the digitization of art and media within 
the dynamics of participatory culture, and how these changes affect the 
power relations between production and consumption of the new forms.


We are seeking original works from contributors whose research fit into 
the following two sections of this volume:

Section I focuses on the digitization of art and media within the 
dynamics of participatory culture, and how these changes affect the 
power relations between production and consumption of the new forms of 
art and social media. Digital imaging and new art forms that have 
changed popular imagination and challenged traditional modes of seeing 
and thinking will be investigated.

Section II is about the investigation of changes and challenges that the 
advertising and creative industries face in adopting digital technology 
in design practices. Both theoretical and empirical issues in relation 
to digital design and media communication will be discussed.
