The proposed activity highlights the relevance of the Italian cultural and creative sector: the project proposal is designed to innovatively enhance the CGIL archive of Basilicata through the metaverse, emphasizing the benefits in terms of accessibility, engagement and preservation. The detailed development method indicates an advanced engagement in the realization of the virtual exhibition on Spatial.
After an analysis of the history and activities of Adan, the social cooperative in Potenza, the possibility of presenting a digital solution for collaboration with the CGIL archive in Potenza was considered. In recent years, the cooperative has devoted considerable efforts to enhance its archives through exhibitions and events. It is believed that the adoption of digital technologies offers an opportunity to overcome physical restrictions and make such exhibitions accessible to a wider audience.
The decision to transfer part of the archive to the metaverse was made after thoughtful consideration. This step represents a significant advance in the strategy of disseminating and sharing cultural resources. The move to the metaverse paves the way for several advantages. First, it offers global accessibility, allowing people from all over the world to explore and understand the union, social and economic history of Basilicata without geographic limitations. This constitutes a significant departure from traditional exhibitions, which are often confined to a specific geographic area.
Moreover, the transportation of local culture into the metaverse not only exposes it globally but also integrates it into a global cultural landscape. The interactive nature of the metaverse provides a more immersive and participatory experience, allowing users to interact with exhibit elements in unique and engaging ways, transcending the limitations of a physical visit.
Digitization in the metaverse also represents an innovative and lasting form of preservation. This practice protects historical memory and makes it accessible to future generations, overcoming the spatial and logistical restrictions typical of physical exhibitions. In addition, the commitment to the use of modern technologies underscores the project's desire to remain at the forefront of new forms of cultural expression.
In an age when virtual interactions are becoming increasingly important, the exhibition in the metaverse provides an innovative way to engage the public. Virtual events, online discussions and other interactions further enrich the experience, creating a link between past and present through the digital. Finally, creating an exhibition in the metaverse is an excellent opportunity to expand the reach of the cultural project, making Basilicata's union history accessible and engaging for all, ensuring that collective memory is preserved and celebrated on a global scale.
