Here are some useful links to external sites, reports and documents relating to the wider environment of digital and broadcasting, reflecting the ways in which the broadcasting and communications landscape is changing and what this means for the arts and cultural sector.

Expert curators

Every six months, we will be asking a different organisation to respond to a topic that is pertinent to digital innovation and 'curate' this part of the site. They will select a series of projects, media and resources as well as critical work to be published here. In this way we will take advantage of the expertise of many of the organisations that we fund and work with to provide a showcase for high quality digital art work and critical material.

Gradually this will build up a rich bank of material and information about each of these topics. These curated themes will also contain links to a wide range of other sites and resources.

The first theme is Collaboration and freedom - the world of free and open source art and has been curated by Furtherfield.
