Digital and experiential art can significantly enhance placemaking, transforming cultural districts into dynamic, memorable destinations. However, not all digital interventions deliver the same impact or return on investment. This practical workshop provides
public spaces and cultural leaders a clear, strategic framework to assess emerging trends, their applicability, benefits, and potential drawbacks in various placemaking contexts.

Guided by industry insights from Moment Factory, Daily tous les jours, Meow Wolf, Superblue, Jason Bruges Studio, Heatherwick Studio, Gensler, and other world-leading studios, participants will explore concrete examples and tools to evaluate when digital
creativity is worth investing in, and when caution might be advisable.
