A problem field doesn´t exist per se. It only comes into existence when a set of questions demarcates it and consolidates it as such. As such, there is nothing more critical than the ability to ask the right questions with which to delimit a major problem field. Throughout the two days of work at C&M 2023, we asked ourselves how cultural ecosystems are configured, function and transform in the digital age. By adopting the concept of cultural ecosystems as a focus of reflection, our aim this year was to transcend the notion of a museum or cultural entity. Our intention was to explore (or problematise) a more wide-ranging scope in which museums and cultural institutions are part a network of multiple relationships that, in addition to what is culture itself, involve the physical-biological environment, the production sector, social organisations, the economy and, of course, technology.
