Details
Is archaeology becoming obsolete?
How is AI being introduced in the field of archaeology?
Do these advances represent a danger or the future of archaeology?
With the aim of strengthening IE University's commitment to the potential of digital humanities and framed within the Madrid citywide celebration of La Noche de los Libros, join us in a debate led by the students of the IE Archaeology & History Club and the IE Improv Club with Professor Rubén Montoya based on his recently published book Pompeya: una ciudad en 100 objetos. We will have the opportunity to embark on a trip to discover the secrets of the Pompeian culture.
Snacks and drinks will be provided before the debate!
We will be able to experience these topics firsthand on a later visit to the immersive exhibition "Los últimos días de Pompeya" in Matadero Madrid.
