On March 3, 2016 the Digital Innovation in Arts & Cultural Heritage (A&CH) Observatory – a research centre born from the precious collaboration among some different and important institutional realities involved in the cultural environment – was inaugurated at the Politecnico of Milan. The Observatory was created with the aim of delineating today’s technologies connected with the artistic and cultural heritage and potential future scenarios, of facilitating the interaction among the main players in this sector and of giving a systemic point of view, not existing today, of the digital innovation applied to processes related to cultural heritage.
LCA, among the few law firms with an entire department dedicated to art law and, at the same time, a recognised expertise in the area of technological innovation and legal assistance to innovative start-ups, sustains with enthusiasm this project, in which important law aspects will be analysed. The lawyer Giangiacomo Rocco di Torrepadula, as member of the Advisory Board of the Observatory, will be involved in some round tables in which experts and institutions will compare their ideas with regard to different themes, such as the Digital Justice and its application in the artistic and cultural environment.
During the first period, the research activities of the Observatory will be focused on the analysis of the use of digital technologies in museums, trying to underline the participation of innovative start-ups active in the artistic and cultural world and the possible future evolutions of the sector under a digital point of view, in compliance with the law.
