Research

Dr. Liselore Tissen focuses on the ethical, perceptual, and emotional impacts of digital technology on the arts, particularly emphasizing how advancements such as 3D printing challenge traditional notions of authenticity, durability, and conservation. Her cum laude dissertation at Leiden University and TU Delft (2024, to be published), Indistinguishable Likeness: The Impact of the Original Artwork and Its 3D-Printed Twin on the Discipline of Art History, Conservation, and Museum Practice, explores the intersection of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, arts, and technology. By integrating philosophical and ethical evaluations with empirical field research, neuroscience, and museum visitor studies, Liselore investigates the influence of digital innovations on artistic practices, sustainability in conservation, technical art historical research, and museum operations. Her multidisciplinary approach connects theoretical frameworks to practical applications, providing insights into the ethical, sustainable, durable, and inclusive uses of technology in art and cultural heritage.
