People’s aesthetic appreciation for any art is bound to the craft of its artists, and that craft is deeply affected by the technology available. Movies have evolved through a long series of venues and technological advances—theaters to shrinking personal devices; roll film with sprockets added; increased frame rates; the standardizations with added sound; experiments with color, aspect ratios, and contrast; and the move to a digital format. This chapter traces these and the consequent psychological improvements in viewer engagement that they fostered—for example, the creation of motion also created aversive flicker, but flicker was then diminished by increasing frame rates and was eliminated by digital delivery. Sound had profound effects, among other things creating a temporary deglobalization of cinema. Color increased discriminability and punctuated the change of scenes. And increased aspect ratios more firmly stimulated people’s systems of balance and the feeling of presence.

The problem statement. Archival sphere can fit organically into the general concept of digital transformation of Ukraine’s economy. The creation of digital format of archival institutions should be based on identical branch standards and rules for the creation, preserving, accounting, description, using of digital copies in order to ensure a single collaboration algorithm between state, regional and municipal authority levels. The purpose of the research is to analyze the new trends of the management system of the archival sphere from the perspective of regulatory support for the implementation of digitalization tools of Ukrainian archival institutions. The methodology. To resolve the tasks of the research were used traditional complex of common scientific principles (determinism, imaging, unity of opposites) and methods (analysis and synthesis, systematic and structural, questionnaire, content-analysis, observation, statistical). The results. The article analyzes the legal tools as an element of state regulation of digitalization of the Ukrainian archival space. The results of the study were confirmed by a sociological survey on the topic “Do we need to adjust the regulatory basis the archival branch to the digitalization contexts?”. The scientific novelty of the research is to develop the theoretical foundations in the branch of archival sphere management due to context of regulatory support for provision of digitalization issue, including methods of analysis, synthesis and systematization, to generate the problem of introducing the modernizational legislation to manage the digitalization of archival sphere. Conclusions. It is reviewed in the research the influence of the state regulation on the task of systematic development of Ukrainian branch standards and other legal documentation, which is created to regulate the requirements of creation, accounting, preserving, and use of electronic document copies, as well as the collaboration between the archival institutions with stakeholders within a single online platform.

To identify problems in land management and find ways to solve them, the modern structure of organization of rational land use is considered. The analysis of the digitalization of economy in advanced foreign countries is carried out. It has been determined that in order to implement effective land policy, it is necessary to use modern geoinformation technologies, in particular, introduction of digitalization in the field of land relations regulation. It was revealed that in recent years digital technologies have been actively used in agriculture of the republic on the basis of space monitoring, which makes it possible to determine the areas of agricultural crops, species yield, and weediness of fields. The efficiency of land management based on the creation of information system - a unified state cadastre of real estate for the implementation of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" is shown. In matters of improving land use, it foresees the creation and implementation of a State cadastre of real estate and national spatial data infrastructure. Currently, a pilot project is being carried out to combine two information systems in order to obtain a unified information system for the real estate cadastre. It was concluded that provision of all types of services in accordance with land legislation must be converted into a digital format, thanks to which the public can get free access to information, the necessary services at a distance (without the obligatory attendance at public service centers), as well as in operational mode of obtaining them. For the efficient and rational use of land and work with real estate, a new structure should be created - the Real Estate Management Agency.

La aplicación de la Realidad Virtual (RV) en la creación artística se remonta a la década de 1990, cuando se comercializan losprimeros sistemas de RV. Sin embargo, los altos costos y lasdificultades técnicas para realizar y exhibir este tipo de obras limitaron la exploración artística de esta tecnología. En la segundadécada del s. XXI, la RV ha experimentado un renacimiento debido,en parte, a los avances tecnológicos en la computación gráfica y las interfaces físicas, bien como a su abaratamiento. Todos estos factores, están reimpulsado la utilización de la RV en las artes al facilitar la creación y exhibición de las obras. Virtual Reality (VR) art can be traced back to the 1990s, whenthe first VR systems were commercialized. However, the art exploration of this technology was limited due to the high costs and technical difficulties to create and exhibit VR artworks. In the second decade of the 21st century, VR has experienced a renaissance partly because of the technological advances in computer graphics and physical interfaces and the reduction of their cost. All these factors have revitalized the use of VR in the arts by facilitating the creation and exhibition of artworks.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are a result not only of technological advances but also of the exploitation of information or data, which has led to its expansion into almost all aspects of modern life, including law and its practice. Due to the benefits of these technologies, such as efficiency, objectivity, and transparency, the trend is towards the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the judicial system. Integration that is advocated at all levels and, today, has been achieved mostly under the implementation of tools to assist the exercise of the judiciary. The "success" of this integration has led to the creation of an automated court or an artificially intelligent judge as a futuristic proposal.

As technology evolves and spheres of information dissemination begin to converge, now is a crucial point to become critical with how these factors are beginning to influence architecture. It is important to understand the ways in which we consume architecture is affecting the architecture we produce. Is architecture a handful of money-shot renderings creating idealised moments captioned with generic copy and paste, or buried in books on shelves? Or have we as architects decided that mechanical reproduction is unable to capture the essence of architecture and that it can only be experienced? The succession of the image is the challenging of conventional methods of communication utilized by the architectural artifact. In focusing on the possibilities afforded via technological advances emerges a variety of mediums for the creation of spatial narratives. The image has progressed and disseminated architecture to this point and it is important to continuously ask what is next.

Communication is very important in human life. Every time people communicate, with anyone, anywhere and anytime. In communicating, humans cannot be separated from verbal and nonverbal behavior. In the digital era like now, communication is becoming increasingly sophisticated with the creation of "contemporary" technology known as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Technological advances have had a huge influence on human life, especially tenagers active gadget users. In the hands of teenagers, gadgets that basically have a function as a tool that can facilitate people in communicating can actually be the cause of the emergence of things that are not good.

Archaeology produces large quantities of data, much of it already in a born-digital format. The preservation of these data is vital, as they result from unrepeatable actions, and access to and sharing of these data are the engine of research activities and knowledge development. The creation of archaeological data repositories, in addition to safeguarding data, is a valuable step in supporting research, but it requires a series of work processes, namely data standardisation and use of common nomenclatures, so published data are findable and reusable. The creation of an archaeological data repository for Portugal is a fundamental requirement. It would allow the safeguarding of data resulting from archaeological fieldwork, along with those resulting from research, making them findable, accessible and liable to be used in future research or even to be re-analysed using new technologies and tools. This article presents the evolution of the digitisation of archaeological information in Portugal, the responsibilities for its production and safeguarding, as well as the steps to be followed for its availability in a data repository.
