AVICOM Tagungsband

Book excerpt: How has the audiovisual and digital communication of museums and other cultural institutions changed in the past decades? What changes can be observed in media design? With which audiovisual possibilities can cultural assets be reconstructed or shown and conveyed in their lost historical context? How to restore or reconstruct damaged or destroyed audiovisual cultural property, e.g. old film documents? Such aspects were the focus of the AVICOM conference, which took place in 2019 as part of the General Conference of the International Council of Museums in Kyoto. Selected lectures are published now in this richly illustrated book. Media experts and museum professionals also present examples of good cultural mediation through special applications, websites, virtual or augmented reality and in the form of interactive and virtual exhibitions and museums. Another focus is the use of media for cooperation with social minorities and marginalized groups, as well as for reducing barriers and promoting inclusion.
