Dear colleagues,
I am writing to you because we just published an article by Carles Sora, on ritual reality n museums and how Digital experimentation should help rethink the limits of analog materiality:
TITLE: Back to the (Virtual) Future: Immersion and Digital Materiality in Museums
LINK: http://blogs.cccb.org/lab/en/article_retorn-al-futur-virtual-immersio-i-materialitat-digital-als-museus/
AUTHOR: Carles Sora
ABSTRACT: The recovery of virtual reality (VR) experiences by the video-game and entertainment industries has contributed to creating general acceptance of this technology. It therefore becomes interesting to ask ourselves what the role of these experiences could be within heritage institutions and museums. More specifically, the current scenario is begging for us to revisit the debate around the concepts of immersion (which is strictly linked to virtual reality since its very origins) and materiality.
I think it might be of the interest of the list. Any comment, idea or project we should take into account will be more than welcomed.
Thank you so much for your attention.
Best regards from Barcelona as usual,
