Digital Urban Art in Historic City Centers in Times of Democratic Transition

Digital urban art, when integrated with historic city centers during democratic transitions, can enhance local identity and create unique visual experiences. A study on the Medina of Tunis found that ephemeral nightlife events, characterized by digital art installations, contribute to a charming atmosphere while preserving cultural heritage. This approach underscores the importance of embracing democratic values in shaping public spaces. The research explores how ICTs are used in historical sites, combining tangible heritage with visual experiences to foster a sense of place and expressionist simulacrum.
