The arts and technologies ecosystem in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is shaped by tradition, modernity, and a drive for prosperity. It has evolved significantly over the past decade, as marked by the expansion of social media platforms, immersive experiences and artificial intelligence. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated a shift to hybrid and digital-first approaches in the arts, with a focus on upskilling and new livelihood opportunities for creative professionals. Artists are pushing practices by using technologies in lighting, 3D, sensors, sound production and others.
