The conference on the present and future of digital culture policies is part of MONDIACULT 2025, UNESCO’s global conference on cultural policies and sustainable development. The conference aims to create a space for strategic reflection on the role of universities, cultural institutions and civil society in designing forward-looking digital culture policies. The interview with the Playmodes collective presents Constellations, a work that combines art, science, and technology through laser mapping of astronomical objects, creating 4,400 illustrations that trace a single tree-like path of stars and geometries.
