LIMINA 3:2 | Digital Transformation | Editorial
More and more, spiritual and religious practices enter the world of social
media and thus undergo transformation. Viera Pirker analyses a Roman-
Catholic Instagram account as an example. The starting point of her re-
search is the reconstruction of a single image posted on this account to peel
back the layers of its visual and communicative structure.
Eugen Dolezal and Moritz Windegger explore the relation and intersection
between artificial intelligence and human creativity: In a bold and remark-
able endeavour, the German Telekom completed Beethoven’s Symphony
No. 10, the so-called “unfinished symphony”, with the help of algorithms
and Artificial Intelligence. But does such a composition constitute art? Tak-
ing Walter Benjamin’s thoughts as a departure point, this article attempts
to define a set of qualitative criteria that distinguish artistic creations by
humans from AI products.
The preservation of human cultural heritage, for example in museums
and archives, is an important societal responsibility. But what happens to
digital products? Are established categories such as the boundary between
authen ticity and reproduction still valid in a digital age? Chiara Zuanni
rounds off the digital debate in this special issue by seeking answers to
these questions and highlighting how our approach to digital objects can
influence our understanding of cultural heritage and its preservation.
