New media technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, data science, 3D visualization, and interactive storytelling will radically transform the our experience of cultures, past and present. Meet practitioners who are exploring the transition as cultural institutions move away from screens toward an embodied experience.
We welcome Sarah Kenderdine of the EPFL Artlab, whose work blends the preservation of cultural heritage with new media art practices to cultivate new insights into intangible culture, from dance to Kung Fu. It is an innovative approach to preserving facets of human history that could be lost to time or a changing planet.

Sarah Kenderdine
Professor Sarah Kenderdine researches at the forefront of interactive and immersive experiences for galleries, libraries, archives and museums. In widely exhibited installation works, she has amalgamated cultural heritage with new media art practice, especially in the realms of interactive cinema, augmented reality and embodied narrative. She is considered a pioneer in the field of digital heritage, digital museology, digital humanities and data visualization and is a regular keynote speaker at related forums internationally.
In addition to her exhibition work she conceives and designs large-scale immersive visualization systems for public audiences, industry and researchers. Since 1991 Sarah had authored numerous scholarly articles and six books. She has produced 80 exhibitions and installations for museums worldwide including a museum complex in India and received a number of major international awards for this work.
In 2017, Sarah was appointed Professor of Digital Museology at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland where she has built a new laboratory for experimental museology (eM+), exploring the convergence of aesthetic practice, visual analytics and cultural data. She is also Director and lead curator of EPFL’s new art/science initiative, inaugurated in 2016 as ArtLab.
