Introduction to the Special Issue on Extended Intelligence for Cultural Engagement

New curatorial practices have emerged in the last decade to increase the engagement of citizens in cultural heritage, ranging from visitors’ experiential feedback to exhibitions and cultural artifacts, to digitally mediated forms of interaction, such as social media and games. Within this context, citizen curation is proposed as a methodology for eliciting, producing, collecting, interpreting, and archiving people's responses to cultural objects in interactive and immersive environments. This special issue provides a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence and interactive technologies for citizen curation by presenting a diverse set of case studies that range from museums to heritage sites.
