Memory and Futures in the Digital Era

Arts&Crafts Awareness Inovação Inteligência Artificial Futuro Tendências Tecnologia Arte e Cultura Impacto Social Criatividade

Memory preservation faces a series of challenges in an increasingly digital society. The expectation was that the process would become simpler with the emergence of new technologies, but it is becoming far more complex. The discussion goes through the high flow of information we have today, the trivialization of recording through social media, and the more democratic access to the internet, which makes it possible to edit any information and therefore creates fake news. On the other hand, access to virtual museum collections provides greater democratization of art, culture, and history. There is also obsolescence, due to the continuous emergence of new data formats, which brings up important questions: how can we preserve these memories in a meaningful, lasting, secure, and reliable way? Is the return of old technologies a solution? How can the use of AI revive memories and connect generations? How can we preserve the past (in the present) for the future?
