The Digital Culture Podcast is for creative and cultural professionals to get to know the Digital Culture Network team, learn how we can help your digital skills development, and find out what’s happening across the sector. 

In this episode of the Digital Culture Podcast, four Tech Champions reflect on their experience at the 2026 REMIX Summit in London – a fast‑paced, future‑focused gathering exploring innovation across the creative industries. Their conversation highlights themes that stayed with them a month later: the growing value of authenticity in a digital world, the resurgence of “slow culture,” the structural challenges around class and access, the recognition of Digital Arts as a new art form by Arts Council England, and the expanding role of creative health.

They discuss: 

  • How authenticity and “slow culture” are gaining momentum
  • Why Arts Council England’s announcement was met with excitement
  • Creative health and digital wellbeing tools are on the rise
