The 21st century has witnessed swift change and development of cultural and creative industries.

Cultural and creative Industrial development is inseparable from the advancement of science and technology, with both contributing significantly to economic development. Meanwhile, the cultural and creative industries serve as an outlet of art. Regardless of whether it is film industry, music industry or social broadcast platforms, or whether it is individuals, groups or societies, they are all craving diversified ways to express vitality and creativity. On the one hand, culture and creativity are interpreted by science and art; on the other hand, culture and creativity promote the development of science and art.

Today, we have witnessed technology and art iteration in the cultural and creative industries. This has resulted in novel business models, including the live broadcast platform industry, short video applications, 5G technology and so on.

What opportunities and challenges does the development of science and technology bring to the cultural and creative industries? How does one view and formulate policy frameworks for the cultural and creative industries? How does one evaluate the emerging forms of artistic expression?
