Following the previous editions, the international symposium HyperHeritage (HIS), focuses on all the problems connected to the tangible and intangible cultural heritage, its protection, its presentation and interpretation, innovation, conservation and the public engagement.

The heritage is at the same time tangible and intangible. By Tangible heritage we intend: the objects, the architecture, the built environment. By intangible heritage we mean the traditions “as living expressions inherited by our ancestors, as for instance the oral transmission, spectacles, social practices, traditional rites and festivities, the crafts” (Anonym). Also, the natural resources, traditional medicine and biology are associated and part of the heritage.

The word HyperHeritage includes all the hybrid aspect of the cultural heritage (with digital support), and allows us to investigate new aspects in relation to the perception and the practices of the digital heritage. The increasing use of digital instruments in the heritage management and protection, including VR, is allowing the creation of new ways of communication.

The use of digital heritage has substantially changed our cultural experience, not only in terms of accessing it, and disseminating it, but also in terms of public engagement on a large scale. The digital support is not only a medium, but has become essential for the creative processes, the diffusion or the perception of the Cultural Heritage.

This evolution in practices, accompanied by new changes and new issues and challenges, places society in a more post-digital era, in which natively digital or digitized data, cultural and heritage data constitute a major challenge for the society. A society in perpetual change that wants to be the philosopher's stone of design. Indeed, according to the story put forward by Midal in 2009, design has always been concerned with societal issues and its mutations, of which we can consider its heritage. Heritage is just as present in the artefacts treated by the designers as in the digital media or even in nature.

Within this perspective, the 8th international symposium HyperHeritage (HIS.8) aims to actively contribute to the promotion of research around the theme of cultural heritage, in connection with the information technology, the natural sciences, design or the human and social sciences, according to various approaches: digital, biological, anthropological, etc. It will focus, although not exclusively, on the issues and challenges of cultural heritage in the post-digital era. The symposium is open (without any limits to the following topics:
