The intersection of research and journey generates an intangible heritage that deserves to be cataloged as anthropological data, bringing scientific research closer to the traveler’s experience.
In this context, the phenomenon of digital nomadism and “vanlife”, intensified by the pandemic, emerges as an expression of a desire for autonomy and authenticity. Thanks to their on-the-ground experience, digital nomads can actively contribute to co-creating content, expanding permanent archives, and ensuring the preservation and accessibility of relevant data. The integration between digitalization and mobility represents a valuable element for enriching the global cultural narrative, which, through photographic, documentary, or social contributions, can extend into new forms of information.
Digitalization represents a crucial tool for enhancing cultural heritage, enabling the collection and dissemination of scientific and historical information.
The paper, based on ongoing research, explores the theme of digitalization and the experiences of digital nomads, analyzing their impact in terms of knowledge and awareness of cultural heritage and urban contexts, fostering new forms of interaction between exploration and innovation.
