CDC Bits

What are digital Cultures? DCRL Research Videos

Prof. Dr. Mar­ti­na Lee­ker, Paul Fei­gel­feld

In the video series CDC Bits the participants – scholars, artists, activists – choose their own filming environment and capture their input with a camera or their webcam in the format of a Vlog.

In a short video, the participants are invited to comment on the broad topic of Digital Cultures, touching on the following issues:

  • What are Digital Cultures?
  • What are the potentials of Digital Cultures?
  • What are the dangers of Digital Cultures?
  • What lies beyond Digital Cultures?

We thank all participants for their contributions.
