Abstract(s)
The city as a virtual museum addresses a diffuse
conception of patrimony and an experience of a digital
“hybrid space” (Kluitenberg, 2010). Such a museum is
marked by a conflation of presence and distance and a
nexus of blurred boundaries between intimacy
and
publicness, thus contributing to re
-
imagine our experience
in the contemporary networked spatiality.
The city’s material culture enhanced by people’s
perceptions and memories is now empowered by digital
networks giving rise to a “locational humanism”
(Holmes,
2003) and a collective activation of urban landscapes.
Bearing in mind the importance of place and locality within
the context of a digital age, this paper focuses on the city
as a virtual museum, a relational space which creates an
urban allegori
zation and an immersion effect on the digital
networks.
