Research Roundup: Arts, Culture, & Technology

by Thomas on 06/01/2011

While researching my graduate thesis, I uncovered a number of different large scale research reports on the topic of arts, culture, and technology. This information wasn’t easy to find because, to the best of my knowledge, there isn’t an organization or website aggregating all of this material. Hopefully this post will serve anyone looking for more information in this area. Each report focuses on a particular area of interest.
