Besides prediction models based upon recovered data from the past and the present, there is nothing but imagination at hand to envision the future. The specific interest or intent of art and all existing sciences seems to flock together whenever a distinctive humanistic evolution is inevitable, creating an épistème of knowledge.

Archaeology is not simply about the past. It is more about a hope for a past – a dream of a past. 

The narrative of archaeology is as much, if not more so, about the fascination of encountering and bridging worlds and cultures today. Echoing AlUla’s context where the exceptional Natural and Cultural Heritage are intertwined, our first program enlightens artistic practices and researches focused on the cross overs between cultural artifacts from he past and their reinterpretation & re contextualization in the digital realm.

‘The present returns the past to the future’ – Jorge Luis Borges

Our work is about creating cultural bridges, both geographically and aesthetically, reinterpreting cultural artifacts from the past through the digital realm.  Working in the midst of AlUla’s phenomenal archeological heritage will provide our artists with extraordinary opportunities to develop their ‘techno-vernacular’ research.
