Type: article
Abstract: The presentation "Defining Art in the Age of Post-Human Creativity and its Impacts on the Definition of Heritage" explores the evolving definitions of art and its impact on heritage protection. It traces the historical transformations of art from antiquity through the modern era, highlighting different paradigms such as craftsmanship, scientific foresight, and radical creativity. The document also discusses various attempts to define art in the 20th century, referencing the Disjunctive Definition of Art and theories like Institutional, Intentional-Historical, and Cluster Theory. In the 21st century, digital forms such as NFTs, VR, and AI-generated art further challenge traditional notions of art. The presentation examines key heritage protection frameworks, including the Venice Charter (1964), UNESCO Paris Conventions (1972, 2003), and the Nara Document (1994), emphasizing the shift from material preservation to non-material and digital heritage. Finally, the presentation proposes a redefined concept of heritage based on autonomy, sustainability, and flexibility, advocating for an adaptable approach to preservation that includes future value and self-sufficiency from inception.
