Keith Myers is an artist and creative technologist exploring how archaeology, landscape and digital media can reconnect people with hidden and overlooked heritage. Working across aerial photography, film, 3D reconstruction and immersive media, he examines how traces of the past remain present in contemporary places.

My practice explores the relationship between people, place and the traces of history that remain within contemporary landscapes. I am particularly interested in sites whose stories are partially lost, overlooked or difficult to see: ruined castles, prehistoric monuments, historic churches and industrial landscapes.

Working across aerial and ground-based photography, film, photogrammetry, 3D modelling and immersive media, I use changes in viewpoint and digital interpretation to make these places newly visible. Aerial perspectives can reveal patterns, boundaries and absences that are difficult to perceive from the ground, while digital reconstruction creates opportunities to explore how places may once have been experienced.

Research, fieldwork and collaboration are central to my practice. Through ongoing projects including Warrington Castle and work connected with sites such as Woodhenge, Carnac and Heysham, I combine visual documentation with historical research and conversations with specialists and communities. The work moves between documentary and interpretative forms, asking how technology can deepen, rather than replace, our connection with physical places.

I am currently developing a body of work exploring traces in the landscape and the ways vanished or transformed structures continue to shape memory, identity and our experience of place.
