This volume presents a broad coverage of theoretical issues that
deal with digital culture, representation and ideology in art and
museums, and other cultural sites, offering new insights into
issues of representation in the digitization of art. It critically
examines the roles of museum and archives in the digital age and
reexamines the intricate relations between sight and site in art,
museums, exhibitions, theme parks, theatre performances, music
videos, and films. The collection represents a multidisciplinary
approach to the complex issues underlying the advent of
technologies and digital culture. The rise of visual culture since
the twentieth century can be accounted for by the advent of
technology in film, TV, museum exhibitions, and the wide use of
websites, but it can also be understood as a paradigmatic shift
toward representation as a visual means to interpret culture, with
new understandings of the site-sight dilemma and the
co-implications in related tensions. Complicating the issue of
representation is the rise of digital culture, as digital sites
replace actual physical sites. This book explores how the virtual
has replaced the actual, and in what ways, and to what effects, the
digital has displaced the physical. With contributions by museum
curators, communications scholars, visual artists, theatre artists,
filmmakers, literary critics, and historians, this volume is of
appeal to academics and graduate students in information science,
art, media, performance, literary and cultural studies, and
history.  “The book binds together different concepts such
as site, sight and digitalization in a very original way. It
convincingly gathers contributions from academics and
practitioners, artists and museum specialists. The chapters are
theoretically well-founded, show an interesting breadth of content
and are also dealing with current developments.” — Monika
Gänssbauer, Professor of Chinese and Head of the Institute of
Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies, Stockholm University,
Sweden “The chapters raise important and latest questions and
discussions on the impact of digital technology has on art,
culture, creativity, representation and innovation. They are
original in dealing with latest examples in recent years,
especially during the pandemic, with reflections and philosophical
discussions on the transformation digital culture undergoes in
relation to human and posthuman contexts, with examinations of art
works, archives and museum collections, exhibitions, theme parks,
theatre performances, films and music videos that encompass
cultures from ancient to contemporary, from the West to the East,
and from physical to digital.” — Jack Leong, Associate Dean of
Research and Open Scholarship, York University Libraries, Toronto,
