Veranstaltung „Wissen | Zeigen: Text, Bild, Objekt in der digitalen Vermittlung“ Im Kunst(Zeug)Haus Rapperswil-Jona

Die Veranstaltung "Wissen | Zeigen: Digitale Vermittlung von Text, Bild, Objekt" findet in der Robinson-Bibliothek im Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil-Jona statt. Als Insel in den Hauptausstellungsraum gebaut, beherbergt die Bibliothek rund 4000 Robinsonaden: Ausgaben, Übersetzungen und Nachahmungen von Defoes Roman in rund 40 Sprachen, aber auch Zeichnungen, Spiele, Filme und Mappenwerke. Am konkreten Beispiel dieses Wissensortes geht die Veranstaltung der Frage nach, wie Wissen über verschiedene Medien vermittelt werden kann. Sie thematisiert dabei die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen vor allem der Digitalisierung für die Erhaltung von Wissen, welches in Archiven und Bibliotheken materiell bewahrt wird.
