What do you mean with cultural heritage in progress?
Work in progress is a term used to describe European projects conceived as part of an ongoing learning process. Even the city of Linz when drawing up its cultural development plan called this document not a final product, but a ‘work in progress’. It is expected that the learning experience and the qualification strategy continues to bring about changes in perception of cultural heritage and culture in cities and regions of Europe. Especially cultural heritage can never be reconstructed completely, so it becomes crucial as already shown by Michel Angelo how media-mediation between the given (the reminders of the past) and the imagination (the conceivable possible) brings about an appreciation of the incomplete and the uncompleted while reconfiguring the parts to a whole picture.
Modern media is a part of such a dialogue like listening to what ancient ruins can tell the visitor of today. It may be something about that past and what that past retains as memory of the still to be lived future. Hence media based experiences of cultural heritage attempts to can enrich the ‘le vecu’, the lived through experiences people make when passing by old houses, former temples or else when visiting world heritage sites, including Delphi, the Cologne Cathedrale, the salt mines outside of Krakow and the historical remnants of Pecs.
