Digital Palimpsest: Transformation of Alois Riegl’s Modern Cult of Monuments
The digital palimpsest serves as a spatial framework offering a multiversal image of historical monuments in the twenty-first century while redefining their values and roles, mirroring society’s values at the time. The chapter offers an interpretation of the Modern Cult of Monuments written by Austrian art historian Alois Riegl in 1903 from a contemporary standpoint. It articulates a new model of representation and engagement with the digital realm while reflecting upon Riegl’s ideas and monument values using digital tools such as photogrammetry and 3D scanning.
Reviewing Riegl’s monument values from today’s perspective raises new questions: What is the monument’s value in the twenty-first century succeeding his concept of historical and age values? How is the monument represented by shifting from the physical to the digital realm following Riegl’s touchless preservation approach? By answering these questions, I argue that the contemporary significance of Riegl’s preservation methodology in architecture relates to the use of digital documentation techniques, also called “non-contact recording methods.” In other words, the chapter traces the shift of focus from physical touchless preservation to the point when digital tools for monument documentation became available.
