Im Rahmen der von der Körber-Stiftung ausgerichteten englischsprachigen eCommemoration Convention 2024: Spaces of the Past. Spatial History in Digital Commemorative Culture führt Dr. Hans-Ulrich Wagner einen Workshop zum Thema Geschichte in und mit Memes durch.
Über die Veranstaltung
The fourth eCommemoration Convention specifically aims to explore representations of history, spaces of the past, memory and memorialisation through the lens of new media and digital arts. We want to identify the artistic and digital implementations of spatial history in present-day commemorative culture: To what extent can the redefinition of spaces through XR and MR experiences unlock new perceptions of history-telling? How do immersive historical exhibitions, open-world video games, XR, and social media challenge practices of commemoration? And how can artistic-digital approaches alter commemorative practices?
Various panels, workshops, hands-on digital experiences and creative exchange will again form the centre of our two-day international and interdisciplinary convention, which will take place on 26 and 27 September 2024 in Hamburg.
The eCommemoration Convention 2024 brings spatial history back on the agenda and sheds light on both the emotional power of (digital) historical spaces as well as on the transformative effects digital technologies have on the notion of historical sites and places as well as on our historical consciousness and renewed commemorative practice.
