Round table 5: Video mapping and heritage

From monumental projection to intimist laid-out images, video mapping turns out to be an efficient tool for the enhancement of heritage. Urban communities, historical centres, or museums are project promoters that aim at revealing and interpreting traces of History, and rebuilding their link with audiences through video mapping. How do these projects make digital artists, craftsmen, historians cross paths? In between communication, mediation and creation, let’s focus on the new formulas that blow the dust off the notion of heritage.
