In this solo episode of the Dr. Random podcast, Dr. Sarah breaks down the concept of digital artifacts and explains the focus of her Pepperdine University dissertation on digitizing paintings of Jesus Christ. She discusses why digital preservation matters in cases of theft, war, environmental damage and cultural loss, and describes how her study combined iconography, Christian history, theology, visual culture, semiotic analysis and digital pedagogy. Dr. Sarah also reflects on the importance of visual literacy today and how art—digital or physical—can transform learning in a screen-driven world.
