| PALIMPSEST Team is very happy to have presented the project, its work, progress and innovative character as a new museistic experience, during the EAAE ARCC 2020 International Conference, 11-14 November with the paper titled “Urban Meta Museum”, by Polyxeni Mantzou, Xenofon Bitsikas, and Anastasis Floros.
The paper examines how urban public spaces are an ideal field for investigation on how digital and physical can coexist concur, interact, intermingle and co-generate a new hybrid and augmented reality. Digital spheres mixed with the physical, material surroundings, create association, amplification, multiplicity and diversification, alongside with the possibility of constant re-interpretation and meta-production. It then presents PALIMPSEST that works on the concept of the city’s palimpsest and the potential that digital technologies provide to recuperate lost or forgotten layers of the city. PALIMPSEST rethinks concepts such as the Archive and the Museum that are transformed by the post-alphabetic era and redesigns their novel, fluid, participatory and interconnected version. The main aim is to revitalize the city’s palimpsest by incorporating forgotten events and stories that took place in the city’s urban web. This way, PALIMPSEST will activate an open and editable archive in the form of an app and an open, immaterial museum that embeds art installations and organizes an extra stratification in the city. |
