Abstract

Digital curation of cultural heritage is an urgent and important matter for our society, which is becoming more and more digitized. In particular, preserving intangible cultural heritage requires novel solutions that can enable transmitting all the nuances of values and identity linked to different traditions and communities. The current development of digital copies of human beings, which promises the achievement of digital immortality in the near future, can allow our posterity to experience traditional events or create new artistic performances with deceased people that, otherwise, could not be lived and, therefore, understood.
