Abstract

Abstract:The destruction of archaeological sites in Syria and Iraq by the Islamic State has been widely covered in the Western media, and has launched a flurry of projects with the goal of combatting the destruction through the use of digital technologies. Technologies such as 3D modeling and printing have been hailed as salvific, and their ability to preserve threatened sites, reconstruct destroyed ones, and disseminate knowledge of the past cheaply and easily all over the globe have been called the only possible remedy for destruction by the IS. This article surveys the work of a number of contemporary artists who are questioning these narratives and pointing to potential downsides to digital reconstructions of threatened cultural heritage.
以我们自己的形象再现过去:当代艺术家对中东濒危文化遗址数字化的反应
摘要:西方媒体广泛报道了伊斯兰国对叙利亚和伊拉克考古遗址的破坏,并启动了一系列旨在利用数字技术打击破坏的项目。3D建模和打印等技术被誉为救星,它们能够保护受威胁的遗址,重建被摧毁的遗址,并在全球范围内廉价而方便地传播过去的知识,这被称为IS唯一可能的破坏手段。本文调查了一些当代艺术家的作品,他们质疑这些叙事,并指出了对受威胁的文化遗产进行数字化重建的潜在缺点。
