The power of digital technologies as a means to synthesize, present, and communicate large amounts of information challenges the instructor and researcher to incorporate different ways to interrogate works of art, archaeology, and architecture or develop new visual support tools. This session seeks to explore components and examples of successful collisions between past models and present possibilities for teaching and research. Presentations may address: virtual collections and spaces, digital curation and narration, 2D and 3D reconstructions and modeling, databases and data mining, geo-spatial mapping, virtual worlds, web publishing of research collections, or other appropriate case studies.
