The two day gathering on 7 and 8 January will be hosted at St. John’s College, Oxford. Here we will assemble a group of scholars and practitioners to discuss the ways in which digital visualising technologies are convening different types of publics across cities and heritage organisations.
Structured around the themes of digital urban publics and the imagined pasts of urban heritage, each of the two days will foster dialogue between media theorists and digital humanities professionals, digital designers, cultural geographers and urban campaigners. Anchored by keynotes and fleshed out by dynamic panels and discussants, we’re thrilled to host such an impressive congress of digital media scholars and professionals.

consider the various ways in which the future of urban spaces are alternately bound up in complicated histories and imagined futures projected as being distinctly visual.
