Key research themes

1. How do digital native media differentiate themselves from legacy media within the evolving digital communication ecosystem?

This research area investigates the emergence, evolution, and current landscape of digital native media, which are media organizations born and designed exclusively for digital platforms, in contrast to legacy media that migrated from traditional formats. Understanding these distinctions matters for grasping new journalistic practices, economic and organizational models, audience relationships, and content strategies shaping the digital media environment.

2. What conceptual frameworks best capture the nature of 'digital' in communication and media, and how do they impact the understanding of digital media and interfaces?

This theme explores varied philosophical, historical, and theoretical conceptions of 'digital'—including instrumental versus constitutive conceptions—reflecting on how digital technologies serve not only as communication tools but also as constitutive interfaces shaping cognitive and social experiences. These frameworks shape academic discourse, media theory, and practical engagement with digital communication and media.

3. How does digitization transform traditional cultural artifacts and artistic practices into new forms mediated by digital technologies?

This research examines the impact of digitalization on traditional forms of art and cultural artifacts, investigating how digital media reconfigure the perception, analysis, and experience of art. It includes theoretical insights from transmediality, multimodality, and digital media studies, focusing on how digitized forms mediate sensory experiences, cultural interpretations, and knowledge dissemination in digital contexts.

Key finding: The paper analyzes how digitalization transfers the materiality of traditional art into binary-coded digital forms, challenging conventional modes of art perception and requiring new analytical frameworks such as... Read more
Key finding: Through the design and evaluation of multimedia guides and large-scale projections for art exhibitions, this research innovatively applies digital multimedia technologies to enhance art access and knowledge. Using devices... Read more
