Exploring Digital Archaeology with Francesca Albrezzi
In this insightful episode of Phantom Astronaut, delve into the vibrant world of digital cultural preservation with our guest Francesca Albrezzi, a PhD holder in digital humanities from UCLA's Office of Advanced Research Computing. Francesca presents an in-depth analysis of the novel utilization of advanced technologies such as 3D and XR in safeguarding cultural experiences and relics. Tune in to learn about the shifting dynamics of data storage, the risks of centralized data systems, and the dreadfully familiar tale of the Library of Alexandria in the context of our digital age.
Join us in this enriching discussion, grappling with the transitory existence of internet culture and data preservation. Gain practical insights from the hands-on experiences of two librarians dealing with the mortality of digital projects and the daunting task of maintaining infrastructure for historical data storage. In this conversation, we explore the impermanence of internet values, the rise of physical artifacts from the digital realm, and the actions taken to preserve interactive websites.
Our dialogue takes an interesting turn as we venture into the realm of building a physical-digital experience space for the display and collaboration of digital artists. Furthermore, we underline the importance of archiving art in its environmental context, and the emerging paradigms in recognizing neurodivergence and their implications in information absorption. This episode critically examines the 'contextual collapse' due to internet ubiquity, teaching digital humanities, and archiving challenges posed by AI generated artworks.
Finally, listen in as we discuss the process of virtually recreating historical events like Chicago's World Fair, the role of multimedia in exhibitions, and other interactive archival methods. This episode promises a deep dive into the evolving frontier of art preservation and understanding in the technocentric world. Don't miss out!
