Andrea's work considers the impact of technologies on the preservation, interpretation, and dissemination of cultural heritage, exploring both the obstacles and opportunities presented by digitization. She writes and presents on the impact of open culture, copyright claims, and the meaningful access and reuse of cultural heritage in the public domain. Her projects include 'Display At Your Own Risk,' a research-led exhibition experiment featuring digital surrogates of public domain works published by cultural institutions worldwide. This work has established a theoretical framework for 'surrogate intellectual property rights' in the cultural sector, examining how these rights affect public access to and reuse of works in the public domain.
