Spazju Kreattiv is currently hosting a series of talks and workshops linked with the archiving process as part of an ongoing research project to compile a detailed catalogue of Fondazzjoni Kreattivita’s art collection dating 2007-2012.

One of these talks, being held today, is about how archives and libraries were brought into the 21st century through the use of technology.

Guest speaker is Alexandra Angeletaki of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who will discuss the challenges of integrating VR (virtual reality) and mobile technology tools in disseminating archival material, and whether its introduction has led to a change in the experience of the contemporary museum-archive.

Using the case of the university library’s Mubil and ARK4 projects, she explores how 3D technology workshops, gaming and mobile technology were used in the Mubil lab in order to develop open access educational workshops for University students and schools with source material drawn from archives and museum objects; and how the ARK4 project focuses on archaeological context, experimenting with user interactivity, digital technologies and gaming.

The talk is taking place today at Space A, St James Cavalier in Valletta from 7 to 8.30pm. The event is free of charge. For more information, call St James Cavalier on 2122 3200.
