“…This fact is more urgently discussed today because CH is complemented by novel digital means, and the COVID pandemic has put great pressure on CHIs to create online digital encounters. To this end, CHIs made an effort to enhance their online presence, and online activity became the main way of approaching the public [38].…”

Traditional crafts exhibit tangible and intangible dimensions. Intangible dimensions include the practitioner’s gestural know-how in craft practice and have received smaller attention than tangible dimensions in digitization projects. This work presents the process of representation and presentation of the glasswork and is exemplified in the re-creation of a historical object. Following an articulated pipeline approach for data collection, annotation, the crafting process is represented visually and semantically in a way that can be meaningfully presented and utilized in craft training and preservation. The outcomes of the proposed approach were used to implement a Mixed Reality installation. The installation targets craft presentation through an exploration of the workspace, as well as craft training through an interactive experience where users re-enact gestures of a glass master holding a tool and receiving audiovisual feedback on the accuracy of their performance. Preliminary evaluation results show high acceptance of the installation and increased user interest.

“…The conclusion of this paper shows that the anti-risk ability of highly digitalized cultural companies is significantly higher than that of less digitalized companies. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced cultural companies to undergo extensive digital transformation (34,43). Cultural companies, especially traditional cultural companies, should accelerate the pace of technological innovation.…”

The COVID-19 virus has challenged the development of the cultural industries seriously, so far, however few studies have used empirical methods to analyze the impact of the pandemic on the overall cultural industries. Based on the panel data of listed companies, this paper explores the impact of COVID-19 on cultural industries from the perspective of stock market returns. The empirical results show that the pandemic has a significant negative impact on the stock market returns of cultural industries, but the degrees of impact on various creative sub-sectors are significantly different. The findings also indicate that digitalization can effectively reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 on cultural companies, and the epidemic has bigger negative impacts on small and newly-established cultural companies. Moreover, we find that the stock market returns of cultural industries have an inverted U-shaped relationship with the daily growth in total confirmed cases and in total cases of death caused by COVID-19, indicating that the negative marginal impact of COVID-19 on the cultural industries increases firstly and then gradually decreases. Finally, implications for companies and governments are presented respectively based on the findings.

“…An impact and response tracker published by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) shows that the ministries of culture in countries such as Argentina, Egypt, Italy and Iran have been emphasizing the development of digital platforms to ensure that knowledge regarding cultural heritage is still being passed on [ 18 ]. Thus, they were opened to the public through their digital platforms [ 19 , 20 ]. Such measures helped alleviate problems arising from social isolation and loneliness.…”

“…Researchers have used the data from such platforms to connect the emotions of people with cultural heritage sites. For example, the work in [ 19 ] carried out sentiment analysis on data captured from two Instagram hashtags that were widely promoted by UNESCO. Twitter as a social media platform provided a hub for community interaction during COVID-19.…”

“…The work in [ 19 ] used the LDA approach for topic modelling followed by a sentiment analysis to understand the cognitive and affective dynamics that emerged from sharing cultural heritage content during COVID-19. Other researchers have set up data collection from Twitter at a very early stage even one week before the first-reported case in Wuhan, 10 May 2020 [ 20 ].…”

This paper proposes a methodology for sentiment analysis with emphasis on the emotional aspects of people visiting the Herculaneum Archaeological Park in Italy during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology provides a valuable means of continuous feedback on perceived risk of the site. A semantic analysis on Twitter text messages provided input to the risk management team with which they could respond immediately mitigating any apparent risk and reducing the perceived risk. A two-stage approach was adopted to prune a massively large dataset from Twitter. In the first phase, a social network analysis and visualisation tool NodeXL was used to determine the most recurrent words, which was achieved using polarity. This resulted in a suitable subset. In the second phase, the subset was subjected to sentiment and emotion mapping by survey participants. This led to a hybrid approach of using automation for pruning datasets from social media and using a human approach to sentiment and emotion analysis. Whilst suffering from COVID-19, equally, people suffered due to loneliness from isolation dictated by the World Health Organisation. The work revealed that despite such conditions, people’s sentiments demonstrated a positive effect from the online discussions on the Herculaneum site.
