KEYNOTE: Digital art as a business: XR in focus

In the last year THE CATALYSTS conducted an extensive study of existing ecosystems and business models in the digital arts industry. Based on a survey answered by 60+ organizations accross the world, micro-case studies and expert interviews, they investigated the monetization trends that keep the art world excited, what makes the respondents cringe, and how to find a new, sustainable business model for the digital arts ecosystem. While the report will be shared with the public in September 2023, the Forum will get an exclusive sneak peek into the analysis through the lens of XR industries.
The study is part of Digital Inter/Section (DI/S), a project funded by the European Commission within the framework of the Creative Europe program. DI/S aims at diversifying the sources of income and business models for digital arts & culture organisations, while promoting sustainable, ethical and inclusive economic development. It is an initiative of Chroniques (France), Chromatic (Canada), Kikk (Belgium), Kontejner (Croatia), Signal (Czech Republic) and THE CATALYSTS (Germany). In a next step, based on the research, the partners will develop and test innovative new business models and create a toolkit to increase economic resilience. The toolkit will be broadly available to the whole ecosystem to accelerate new ways of doing business.
