Elizabeth Sikiaridi (Höxter / Amsterdam) »Hybrid Heritage«
How to re-signify heritage and monuments with the help of creative visions and hybrid (combined physical/digital) tools? The lecture presents projects that research and design contemporary interpretations and further development of heritage under a multicultural perspective. Including the integration of media and digital technology in heritage projects, Hybrid Heritage also focuses on cultural hybridity in today’s globalized world: https://hybridspacelab.net/project/hybrid-heritage/ Next to integrating creative methods into the processing of heritage, Hybrid Heritage bolsters innovative ideas on (the future of) heritage in the Digital Age: Digitally supported co-creative processes potentially eliminate boundaries to engagement and visualization, fostering radical re-signification of physical monuments and heritage, enabling the integration of sidelined voices within polyphonic heritage (sites).
