The chapter reflects on the role of digital technologies in renegotiating cultural heritage practices through sensorial knowing and participatory experiences. Museums, heritage sites and landscapes can all be considered part of an electronic ecology – the pervasive and networked technological world in which we are immersed. Digital technology is transforming all aspects of collecting, access, interpreting, engaging, learning and sharing. An “ecological” approach to curatorial design entails reflecting on the impact of digital technologies on the artistry of experiencemaking within collecting and exhibiting practices and the devising of integrated strategies that enable encounter, intimacy and embodied interactions between people, places, memory and the things we preserve from the past for the benefit of the future generations.

It is a journey that has no end to it, no final destination.

The transformative potential of spatial practices that cr eatively employ these technologies can renegotiate our experience of place by allowing us to co-inhabit past and pr esent storied spaces of different cultures. The research project Mapping Footprints explores alternative means of knowing and making place through a spatial practice which mediatizes heritage conservation sites with ar chival records. In the context of Elvina site, a heritage place of Aboriginal cultur e in Sydney, we experiment with a place-making practice wher e the re-storing of memory renegotiates archived oral histories and the geography of the site. We will look at the role of mediation, performativity, and representation in shaping both the development pr ocess and the experience of this augmented, storied landscape.

project in Australia which has engaged local communities,
organisations and museums in Liverpool
(NSW) – a municipality within the Greater Sydney
metropolitan area – using spatial practices and digital
mediation of the area’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.
The chapter reflects on the role of digital technologies
in renegotiating cultural heritage practices
through sensorial knowing and participatory experiences.
Museums, heritage sites and landscapes can all
be considered part of an electronic ecology – the pervasive
and networked technological world in which
we are immersed. Digital technology is transforming
all aspects of collecting, access, interpreting, engaging,
learning and sharing. An “ecological” approach
to curatorial design entails reflecting on the impact
of digital technologies on the artistry of experiencemaking
within collecting and exhibiting practices
and the devising of integrated strategies that enable
encounter, intimacy and embodied interactions
between people, places, memory and the things we
preserve from the past for the benefit of the future
generations.
