Making Digital Heritage Multisensory Strategies and Political Impact ************************* Research Summit Sep 4, 2019 2:30 pm - 6:00 pm Audimax, Danube University Campus Organized by the Department for Image Science www.donau-uni.ac.at/dbw ▪ zbw[at]donau-uni.ac.at ************************* Digital technologies and culture have become part of the fabric of our societies. In the digital sphere, artistic creation and scientific research are closely intertwined with the latest technological developments. Interfaces, visualizations, social media platforms, innovative communication devices, and data mining are significant components of our digital heritage. Does the inclusion of digital heritage into the museum world also enable digital arts to be finally represented in our publicly funded institutions? Because of the postdigital turn, digital materialities are explored through multisensory devices, haptic interfaces and tangible user applications. Simultaneously, through digitalization, new experiences of (inaccessible) cultural heritage have been established with virtual and immersive installations, 3D illusions and data visualizations. Today, we live in ever-changing knowledge societies: how do these new digital infrastructures influence socio-cultural transformations? The Research Summit is a new conference format at Danube University with the overall goal of bringing together scientists, technicians, students and the interested public for an interdisciplinary exchange. /// Intro /// Prof. Dr. Oliver Grau, MAE, Chair Professor, Department for Image Science, Danube University Krems, Austria Digital Arts & The Museum: A Political Game /// Keynotes /// Prof. Dr. Sarah KENDERDINE Director of Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Experimental Museology: Sculpting Cultural Data Prof. Dr. Hiroshi ISHII Associate Director of MIT Media Laboratory Director of Tangible Media Group Making Digital Tangible /// Panel /// Prof. Dr. Ryszard Kluszczyński, Chair Professor, Department of Media and Audiovisual Culture, University of Lodz, Poland Ass.
