New Heritage: New media art between cultural heritage experience and artefact

In the context of Media Art, the notion of cultural heritage experiences a renewed interest with regards to accessibility, legacy and preservation. Contemporary media artists reimagine cultural heritage, not only finding inspiration in classic art forms, but contributing to a deeper perceptual understanding of historic context. Media Art and new technology help to provide new accessibility to heritage through a variety of strategies, but also present novel artistic readings of cultural contexts.
