Borrowing from the feminist scholar Karen Barad, the authors delve into the intriguing question of what transpires when we apply the formal techniques of archaeological digital imaging to a distinct set of disciplinary concerns and practices. This process of diffraction unveils the disparities between archaeologists, heritage practitioners, and artists, highlighting how their diverse practices and approaches enrich and inform one another. By exploring this diffraction, we gain a deeper understanding of how digital imaging techniques employed by archaeologists can be embraced by digital artists, and what exciting possibilities this adoption entails.

Furthermore, we contemplate the impact of these techniques under the discerning eye of fine artists, raising questions about the fidelity of the digital images created by archaeologists. We also delve into new inquiries regarding the digital image, prompting us to ask how the critical approaches and practices of fine artists can shape the future of digital imaging in archaeology and cultural heritage.

This book will captivate students and scholars alike, spanning disciplines such as archaeology, cultural heritage studies, anthropology, fine art, digital humanities, and media theory. It offers valuable insights into the dynamic interplay between these fields, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and promoting a deeper appreciation of the multifaceted roles of digital imaging in the preservation and interpretation of our shared cultural heritage.
