Abstract:

The living relationship between intangible and tangible forms of heritage, as well as natural and cultural heritage, is a situated one, always in place. Information and communications technology (ICT) is opening up new ways of experiencing and thinking about heritage by allowing for cross-media interaction. By combining different media and technologies, cross-media interaction supports the social production of heritage and creates 'infrastructures' that act as places of cultural production and lasting values at the service of a living heritage practice.
