An artefact from the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art's collections.
The Fondation Gandur pour l'Art is supporting the creation of a Digital Humanities research chair at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), dedicated to the promotion and study of artistic heritage through new technologies. The research conducted will contribute to shaping the museums of tomorrow. How can we improve the experience of museum visitors? How can we increase the emotional impact and knowledge of works of art through new technologies? These are the questions that will be tackled by the work of the future holder of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art Chair, newly created at EPFL. Digital Humanities is an expanding field of study at EPFL. At the crossroads between the Humanities and the so called "hard" sciences, the new research chair will be part of the school's College of Humanities and will focus on the promotion, study and conservation of works of art by means of new technologies. The possibilities are endless in view of the number of technologies that can be used to create new forms of museology. The involvement of the Foundation makes it possible to create this new research chair and goes well beyond a financial contribution.
