Abstract: Current practices in digital humanities are characterised my multimodal skills and tools, aiming at exploring a great variety of digitised content.Recent developments in AI and multimodal RAG-models offer new possibilities in intermedial research and transmedia storytelling. This keynote lecture will address several dimensions of the “multiverse”: multimodality, multivocality, multimediality, and multilinguality and how this multiperspectivity in doing digital humanities research and outreach can promote more inclusive and engaging forms and formats of scholarly and artistic expression.
