How can emerging technologies display, reveal and negotiate difficult, dissonant, negative or undesirable heritage? Emerging technologies in museums have the potential to reveal unheard or silenced stories, challenge preconceptions, encourage emotional responses, introduce the unexpected, and overall provide alternative experiences. By examining varied theoretical approaches and case studies, authors demonstrate how “awkward”, contested, and rarely discussed subjects and stories are treated – or can be potentially treated - in a museum setting with the use of the latest technology.

Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert is Associate Professor at the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts of the Cyprus University of Technology and the coordinator of its Visual Sociology and Museum Studies Lab. Since 2018, she is also the Museum Lab group leader at RISE (Research Centre on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies).
