Περίληψη 

Archives in motion describes ‘experimental museology’ as a collaborative research practise for cultural collections, custodians and communities. The presentation focuses on transdisciplinary initiatives at the intersection of immersive visualisation technologies, visual analytics, aesthetics and cultural (big) data to explore cultural heritage from scientific, artistic and humanistic perspectives. Through a series of experimental platforms and projects the discussion will unpack a range of new archives which have spatial temporal complexity as core attributes. This complexity offers diverse audiences new opportunities for engagement and experience, while also challenging prerequisites for infrastructure and driving collaboration and convergence across domains.
