We were pleased to welcome Luke Hollis for an Open House discussion about digital classical imagination. The event took place on Thursday, February 28 at 11:00 a.m. EST and was recorded.
You might like to consider the following before the event:
Find a classical text or artifact in a digital archive online (one such archive, among many others, is the Acropolis Museum at Google Arts and Culture). How does the digital version of text or artifact differ from the original? How does the metadata that’s displayed with that text or artifact change the way that it is discovered by archive users? Is there any change to or variation of the original by the choice of metadata included with the digital version?
You can watch the event in the frame below, or on our YouTube Channel
