PAST - Platsen Asine Spår och Tid

2025–2026

PAST, Platsen Asine Spår och Tid, för arkeologiskt arv till liv genom interaktiv digital berättelse. Genom att kombinera digital teknik med rika arkeologiska data skapar projektet en immersiv upplevelse där besökare kan utforska arkeologiskt arv och forskning genom en interaktiv touchskärmsinstallation vid Gustavianum i Uppsala. Applikationen utgår från den antika platsen Asine i Argolis i Grekland och samlar 3D-modeller, fotografier, arkivdokument, filmmaterial, kartor och historiska texter.

PAST brings archaeological heritage to life through interactive digital storytelling. Focusing on the ancient site of Asine in the Argolid region of Greece, the application combines 3D models, photographs, archival documents, film material, maps, and historical texts into an immersive experience. Visitors can explore and examine archaeological artifacts to discover how knowledge about the past is created through excavation, documentation, analysis, and interpretation. The installation is on display at Gustavianum Museum in Uppsala.

The project builds on an earlier InfraVis-supported project, where core concepts and visualization methods were developed and tested, and demonstrates how digital visualization can strengthen public engagement with cultural heritage and academic research.
