*CFP* "DIGITAL MEDIA AND TECHONOLOGIES: NEW ART FORMS AND NEW MEDIA SPECTACLES", VOL.3 SPRINGER BOOK SERIES

This volume will be part of the Springer series, Digital Culture and Humanities: Challenges and Developments in a Globalized Asia (Series Editor: Tam, Kwok-kan). The aim of this series is to examine how digitization changes current cultural practices as well as the modes of thought in humanities subjects, such as art, literature, drama, music and popular culture (which includes comics, films, pop songs, television, animation, games, and mobile apps). It will also address the opportunities and challenges for scholarly research, industrial practices and education arising from the wide application of digital technologies in cultural production and consumption.

The wide use of digital technology facilitates the birth of new art forms and social media, which in turn have produced far-reaching implications for changing media ownership and its role in the political economy. Digital Media and Technologies: New Art Forms and New Media Spectacles aims to investigate the digitization of art and media within the dynamics of participatory culture, and how these changes affect the power relations between production and consumption of the new forms.

We are seeking original works from contributors whose research fit into the following two sections of this volume:

• Section I focuses on the digitization of art and media within the dynamics of participatory culture, and how these changes affect the power relations between production and consumption of the new forms of art and social media. Digital imaging and new art forms that have changed popular imagination and challenged traditional modes of seeing and thinking will be investigated. 
• Section II is about the investigation of changes and challenges that the advertising and creative industries face in adopting digital technology in design practices. Both theoretical and empirical issues in relation to digital design and media communication will be discussed.
