New Technologies for Mediating World Heritage Sites
World Heritage Sites in Germany and Europe receive widespread public attention and attract a broad range of visitors. Their prominent status comes with the obligation to promote general understanding of their unique cultural significance and to engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
As new technologies have become increasingly important for mediating World Heritage in recent years, we are organizing the first international conference, held in Paderborn and Corvey on 25 and 26 November 2019, to discuss their growing role and fascinating possibilities. Representatives of various World Heritage Sites in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain will outline the great variety of technological applications.
The conference will also supply an opportunity to present the new multi-media concept for the World Heritage Site Westwork Corvey. The concept presents the monastic history of Corvey and the unique architecture of the Carolingian westwork with its original polychromy and furnishings while complying with the strictest standards of monument protection.
