Author: Andreas Pinotti
When we think of monuments, we usually refer to objects made of stone or bronze that embody the social memory of a nation or community and make it tangible in material objects. New digital technologies – virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence – lend commemorative practices an unexpected materiality and novel potential.This book offers a critical comparative overview of the various types of digital monuments and considers them as strategies of telepresence, from aesthetic as well as ethical and socio-political perspectives. Several paradigmatic case studies are analysed to show how the experience of externalised memory is being profoundly transformed in the age of algorithmic media.
