2019 FIAF Symposium
Session 6: Restoration: Ethics and practices
Lausanne, 9 April 2019
The transition we are currently experiencing has seen us switch, in just a few years, from an analogue universe to an entirely digital one. The speed of technical changes, and the sudden emergence of new possibilities, force us to pose once again the fundamental questions that orient our work - questions that each concrete project formulates differently.
