I thought it was going to be in Thailand in December 2025, so best not to ask me any details but go to the website!

Museum Big Data Athens

Academic, archaeology, Architecture, Conference, Digital Humanities, heritage, , , , , , ,

If you are near Athens 18-19 November there is an interesting conference on the topic of the above at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

The program is now available: https://2024.museumbigdata.org/program/

I am giving the below talk and I am happy to mention any information on projects or technology around the following topics and themes.

Immersive Visualisation and the Emergence of Collaborative XR in the Museum Sector

In this talk, I will explore the increasing promise of extended reality (XR), new sensory data and immersive experiences, and recent emerging visualisation strategies for conveying increasingly immersive and data-driven possibilities for the museum sector. Some recent projects I will cover include the Australian Cultural Data Engine, the Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia, and smaller case studies and experiments in data-driven story-mapping, mixed, augmented, and virtual reality. A key issue is immersive literacy: how designers can cater to the visualisation and navigation issues of the general public not yet experienced in these emerging rich, multimodal, but potentially overpowering or confusing immersive experiences. I will sketch out concepts that may be borrowed from game design to engage, entice, and also encourage audiences to explore this new and more immersive world of big data.

JOB! Research Fellow in Creative Technologies and Immersive Storytelling at StoryLab in Cambridge

Conference

Dear colleagues

I am delighted to share a call for a new StoryLab Research Fellow in Creative Technologies and Immersive Storytelling and would be grateful if you could share it with your networks and colleagues who you think might be interested in applying.

This is a full time fixed-term 24-months contract. Deadline for applications: 16th October 2023.

I am looking for a new member of StoryLab who will work on a range of digital and/or immersive experience (XR) practice-led projects, and will develop new research that contributes to StoryLab’s research themes (Human Creativity, Design and Technology; Identity, Culture and Heritage; and Sustainable and Resilient Communities).

Specific details and the job package can be found at this link: https://jobs.aru.ac.uk/vacancy/research-fellow-creative-technologies-and-immersive-storytelling-538240.html

Thank you so much for your help and support!

Best wishes

Our article “Exploring Historical Australian Expeditions with Time-Layered Cultural Maps” has been published in IJGI and is available online:

Website: https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/12/3/104
PDF Version: https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/12/3/104/pdf

Exploring Historical Australian Expeditions with Time-Layered Cultural Maps

The Australian Time Layered Cultural Map platform was created to help digital humanities scholars investigate how online geospatial tools could provide exemplars to their humanities colleagues on how historical collections and cultural data could be extended and re-examined with geospatial tools. The project discussed here investigated how Recogito/TMT could effectively extract spatial and temporal data from pure text-based historical information and generate time-layered interactive maps of that spatio-temporal data using accessible and user-friendly software. The target audience was humanities scholars relatively new to geospatial technologies and relevant programming systems. The interactive maps were created with two free, open-source web applications and one commercial GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping application. The relative pros and cons of each application are discussed. This paper also investigates simple workflows for extracting spatiotemporal data into RDF (Resource Description Framework) format to be used as Linked Open Data.

Milan in June 2023

Academic, Architecture, augmented reality, Conference, Digital Humanities, talks, Virtual Reality, visualisation, workshop

I have received an invitation from the ERC Advanced Project “An-iconology. Theory, History, and Practices of Environmental Images” (AN-ICON) hosted by the Department of Philosophy “Piero Martinetti” (https://an-icon.unimi.it/) to speak at the “AN-ICON” International Workshop in MILAN June 2023. An honour to be invited.

We are now organising the workshop “Real Space-Virtual Space. Aesthetics, Architecture and Immersive Environments,” scheduled on 19th-21st June 2023, dedicated to the dialogue between virtual spaces, architecture and urban planning. We will investigate this intertwining which is more and more relevant at both practical and academic level by adopting a transdisciplinary and multimethodological approach – including aesthetics, phenomenology, media studies, architectural design, urban planning, cultural heritage studies. 

The workshop will be held at the University of Milan and Milano Triennale (https://triennale.org/), the renowned Italian institution dedicated to design and architecture.
