Digital cinema – the role of technological innovation in generating public good in the field of culture
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2012, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Digital cinema, which is unquestionably a technological innovation, has become a post-modern art house, a multifunctional cultural institution, which due to its new enlarged functions greatly contributes to generating a public good. As a non-conventional provider it explores the abilities of cinema’s alternative content to promote various manifestations of culture – from high culture events such as classical music concerts, operas and ballets to popular forms of entertainment as well as diverse educational activities. In this way a digital cinema both facilitates and encourages cultural participation, especially in the areas where numerous barriers exist. Thus its value consists in actively contributing to enlarge a social availability of the public good and its more equal and just distribution. Consequently, it also enhances social cohesion by acting against social exclusion, multi-dimensional marginalization and digital apartheid, especially in economically disadvantaged societies. It suc¬cessfully changes the concept of a cultural centre and periphery allowing the latter to reduce its civilisatio¬nal gap. In this way it also provides its inhabitants with more equal chances to participate in the global society and benefit from the best it can offer. Considering its socio-economic and cultural impact, a digital cinema can be seen as one of the most important factors generating human capital, which in turn strongly influences the quality of life of individuals and of whole nations as well as their well being and economic competitiveness. The objective of the present article is to examine the multi-dimensional potential of D-cinemas in gen-erating public good. This issue is of importance in Poland as the digitalization process of non-com¬mercial cinemas has already started and one of its challenges is to use this to the best of its potential.
