Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges

The sections of this research have been based on research projects undertaken by graduate students of the School of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. This paper examines the contribution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to the promotion of the rich cultural heritage for the city of Thessaloniki. The aim is to highlight practices that bridge the historical past with the digital future, giving new experiences to visitors and research tools to scientists. In addition, they spread learning for this cultural substrate to people who are interested in getting information on its various (mostly unearthed, thus far) folds. The point that triggers off  involvement in the public and private sphere of doing things within the city, alongside cultural diversity and pluralism, is the massive use of the newly inaugurated Metro. ITCs focusing on open access material promote techniques and compositional ideas  that deeply (indeed) involve audience reception and participation in a diachrony of some 2000 years.
