Experiencing the intangible: Communicating cultural meaning and identity through storytelling and immersive technologies

博物馆艺术品被去语境化的问题已经得到了承认，然而，收藏品展示方法仍然经常导致民族志艺术品被剥夺其社会建构形式的意义和重要性。例如，这包括宣传这些物品的重要性，谁使用它们，以及它们在实践、信仰和仪式的更广泛的文化背景中的位置。这项研究将探索使用沉浸式技术和讲故事的方法和影响，以使这些对象重新活跃和重新语境化，传达其无形的方面，并创造情感体验，从而翻译文化知识，促进未来观众的文化参与和理解。

The issue of museum artefacts being decontextualised has been recognised however collection display approaches still often result in ethnographic artefacts being stripped of their socially constructed forms of meaning and significance. This includes, for example, communicating the importance of these objects, who used them and where they fit within the wider cultural landscape of practice, belief and ritual. This research will explore methods for, and impact of, using immersive technologies and storytelling to reanimate and recontextualise these objects, communicating their intangible aspects and creating affective experiences which translate cultural knowledge and promote cultural engagement and understanding for future audiences.
