Time Machine Conference
Imagine an international organisation developed from an alliance focused on cooperation and exchange of technology, science, and cultural heritage. The main basis for achieving this goal? To provide access to a collective memory supported by technological development to broaden our knowledge of the past, present, and future of us all. This is the main mission of the Time Machine Organisation.

The European initiative has large-scale research projects and powerful directing agents and partners. This has been pushing the boundaries of scientific research in Information and Communication Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and Social and Human Sciences, always looking for new ways to develop technologies that help us to have a better and deeper insight into the data that makes up our history, and thereby widens our horizons of possibilities for the days to come.

Seeking to show the results and stimulate building bridges between the most different market and knowledge sectors (academics and research, civil society, small and medium businesses to large corporations, specialists in different technologies, etc.), Time Machine Organisation will hold in 2019 its international conference on 10 and 11 October in Dresden, Germany.

Throughout the event, we will be able to learn about the innovations developed by the Digital Humanities Lab as well as the results of the Local Time Machines project, a distributed enterprise that seeks to digitize the history of several European cities. The digitization effort involves not only documents or what is recorded in official papers but also everything that involves social production throughout the history of countries and cultures. That includes objects, artwork, urban evolution and so on. Such digitization involves the largest computational simulation process ever performed. To keep in mind: all this collection is available for free access as a database, as well as an interactive simulation in which all these collections can be explored.

Although the project started in Europe and had first access to local data, it’s important to point out that the idea is not to promote a Euro-centered work telling a “single history” or to be bound to a single territory. The idea is precisely piecing together multiple pasts that allow us multiple futures.

Seize the chance to experience first-class speakers from world-leading science, technology and cultural institutions discussing the potential of cultural heritage data and technology for various domains. Take the unique opportunity to connect with internationally renowned representatives from high-profile businesses, Ministries and funding bodies as well as researchers and scientists from academic and cultural institutions.
