Information technologies and indigenous communities
Information Technology and Indigenous Communities (ITIC) will explore the ever-increasing use of IT to access, create and collate tangible and intangible cultural information and heritage as well as a wealth of additional uses of digital media. The torrent of new media and digitisation provides a host of opportunities and associated challenges.
The symposium will bring together community workers, institutions, researchers, technical advisors and IT professionals to discuss current projects, share challenges and solutions; investigate improved digitization options; explore new methods and technologies; and think creatively about future pathways.
Indicating the vibrancy and creativity of the sector, ITIC has presentations which showcase and consider the variety of uses of IT. Sessions include: Cultural and Environmental Mapping; Community Collecting and Museum Outreach; Access to IT and Infrastructure; IT and Education; IT, Language Documentation and Revitalisation; Media Associations and Remote Communities; Voice and Representation; ICT and Creative Solutions; Safeguarding the Virtual World; Placing Culture Online; Managing Knowledge in the Digital World and Digital Media and Cultural Transmission.
Co-hosted with the ANU and the National Film and Sound Archive and in conjunction with the National Recording Project's 9th Symposium on Indigenous Music and Dance.
