The Lab (ISCRL) aims at developing methods and techniques to collect and record cultural data and represent cultural information via the use of digital applications and multimedia. In this context the Lab (ISCRL) aims at examining, processing and developing critical interpretive approaches contributing to the documentation, evaluation, management and promotion of various forms and versions of “cultural content”. Therefore it is focused both on being associated with contemporary theoretical approaches in the field of cultural representation and on the utilization and elaboration of innovative methodologies and techniques for the creation of cultural data presentation scenarios dependent on current developments in the field of technology with emphasis on Digital Audiovisual Production, 3D Graphics, Virtual Reality/ VR technologies and Sound Design.

The Lab (ISCRL) serves the research and educational practices of the Cultural Technology and Communication Department and therefore the University of the Aegean in fields of knowledge which include Cultural Research, Digital Culture, Sound Design and Soundscapes, Digital Audiovisual Production with emphasis on Documentaries, Mobile and Diffused Calculation of 3D Graphics and the Development of Augmented and Virtual Reality Mixed Applications.

 

The Lab (ISCRL) has completed a series of research projects presented in Activies and Productions.

The Lab (ISCRL) has cooperated and collaborated with a series of public and private agencies, cultural organisations and institutions. All collaborations are consistent with the research and educational practices of the Lab, addressing diverse fields of knowledge and subjects, as for example research to record and document cultural data and cultural networks defining their constitution, the promotion of cultural data in the form of projection scenarios and the use of new ICTs. The following are a few indicative examples:
