Thesis

Illuminating History: Through the Eyes of Media, is a collaborative design research project that was conceived as an academic endeavor. The agenda of the project is outlined in the original proposal that is included in the Appendix section of this document. The original objectives were based on the idea of creating a project in which archaeologists from the University of Turku, and artists and designers, from the Media Lab, would engage in active collaboration. Within this framework, the project proposed to utilize the work being done as an opportunity to investigate the different modes of representation available to humanists through the use of new media and design. The project also proposed to examine areas of intersection between the Arts, as exemplified by disciplines such as Design, and the Humanities, as seen through the point of view of the discipline of Archaeology.
