TEDGlobal 2011 — Session 11: Things We Make

"You have been digitally preserved"

"You have been digitally preserved," Ben Kacyra told the audience, who were 3D scanned during his talk. His CyArk project uses the same technique to document the contours of world heritage sites. "Our heritage is much more than our collective memory. It's our collective treasure," he argued. "We owe it to our children, grandchildren and generations we will never meet to save our heritage, and pass it along."
