In my Phd project (funded by Pro Scientia Foundation, DOC Fellowship of Austrian Academy of Sciences and Marietta Blau Grant) I investigate the use of geolocation media in the digital representation of places of remembrance in Europe. I am interested in places in Europe that were affected by Nazi terror and where forms of memory culture have been established today that differ in their national-historical context. The focus of the Phd lies on applications of digital geomedia used in such places, for example in the form of digital maps, augmented reality apps, or digital audio trails. The dissertation examines how geomedia co-constitute real places and proximity-distance relations to them, and how they are interwoven into different national and international discourses.
