Clarisse Bardiot (Rekall) - Performing Arts & Born Digital Heritage #PABC2015

In the continuation of their collaborative program on Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age which started beginning of 2015, iMAL and Packed organised the first international symposium in Brussels on the issues of preservation of born-digital art and culture and their public access.

Born digital documents are essential to trace back the history of the performing arts in the contemporary era: nowadays, all stage management systems are digital, and part of the creative process generally takes place via computers and networks. What are the consequences of natively digital heritage not only for preservation, but also in terms of the cultural and scientific use that can be made of it? In this paper, Clarisse Bardiot will present different experiments dealing with performing arts and born-digital cultural heritage. She will especially focus on the development of the Rekall software that she has been working on further to the DOCAM research project.
