PER-FORMING SPACES:


On Designing Phygital Narratives within the Cultural Heritage Ecosystem

Amid the phygital turn, a pivotal confluence of physical and digital domains, this symposium delves into the profound transformations impacting cultural experiences, design paradigms, and the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage. The synergy of technology and the human body has redefined our engagement with the world, replacing passive screen-based interactions with dynamic, sensory-rich encounters. Designers face the challenge of crafting interfaces that embrace acoustic, visual, haptic, and tangible stimuli, emphasizing the choreography of potential interactions. In the realm of cultural heritage, this evolution ushers in user-centered, participatory and prosthetic use of technology in an ecosystemic interaction, claiming the urge of a new era that reshape the boundaries of human experiences within the cultural heritage realm.
