Description
Social cohesion is a pervasive topic in our societies where social media tools are often regarded as sources of chaos and division. In this lecture I will discuss two research projects involving design, digital technology tool development and the cultural heritage sector. One of the projects is the interactive historical reconstruction in virtual reality of the Pavilion of Finland at the 1900 World Fair in Paris (2006-2023). The creation of this structure realized by local artists and intellectuals, underscored the historical reality of Finland as an independent nation with its own culture, language, and narratives. The other project was realized during the years 2020-2023 and we developed a virtual reality prototype for a Pop-up VR Museum based on objects from the collection of Design Museum Helsinki. Among the questions dealt with in both these studies is that of whether it is possible to use design and digital tools together with cultural heritage to promote social cohesion?| Aikajakso | 1 jouluk. 2023 |
