Dr. Angeliki Antoniou, University of West Attica (Greece)
28 March 2025, 13.00-14.00 GMT
This presentation will provide a critical interrogation of the evolving landscape of Digital Humanities, from its transition to Cultural Informatics to its changing approaches to interdisciplinarity and scientific/artistic practice. We will delve into ‘phygitality’—the seamless integration of physical and digital experiences—alongside artificial intelligence, and the development of climate heritage networks, demonstrating the field’s responsiveness to contemporary challenges. The presentation will also address the future trajectory of Cultural Informatics and critically consider the imperative of ethical frameworks in navigating the complex intersections of technology and culture.
