Reviving the past and digital mapping for the future
The remote Canadian island of Oikiqtaruk is disappearing fast, but its cultural and environmental heritage is being captured in digital form. We talk to those involved in the project about its ambition and their success to date. Also, recreating long lost cultural artefacts. For the Madrid-based organisation Factum Foundation it's a journey of reconnection — a way that future generations can celebrate and cherish the character of their past.
Guests
Richard Gordon — Senior Park Ranger, Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park, Canada
Professor Peter Dawson — Dept. of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Calgary
Adam Lowe — Director of Factum Arte and founder of Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Conservation
