Join us for the thought-provoking lecture, "From 'Do Not Touch' to 'Co-Create': How Emerging Technologies Empower Cultural Heritage” by Dr. Cheng Danzhao, Senior Product Manager of Ant Group, and step into a future where you are not just a visitor, but an active creator of cultural memory. This session bridges academic and industry practice to explore how a wave of new technology is transforming passive viewing into participatory experience. Discover how crowdsourcing can reconstruct lost treasures from a simple photo, how immersive XR can make you feel the pulse of history, how AI pieces together fragmented narratives, and how blockchain is empowering individuals to become active “cultural shareholders.” We move beyond the technology itself to ask the crucial question: How do we empower more people to confidently say, “This is my culture—I have the right to participate, narrate, and even shape it”? Be part of the conversation that is shifting the public’s role from passive audience to active co-creator and imagining new pathways for inclusive, living memory in the digital age.
