Visual, audiovisual, and multisensory media are gaining increasing importance. The latter are hybrid media that appeal not only to sight and hearing, but also to other senses (e.g., smell, touch, and motion). Considering this media development, both the digital humanities and what might (as a working hypothesis) be called digital law explore visualization, audiovisualization, and multisensorization. These fields have so far largely gone separate ways, without influencing each other, although both face similar problems and questions in investigating visualization, audiovisualization, and multisensorization. This paper makes an innovative contribution to understanding these phenomena by bringing the digital humanities and digital law closer together. It also advances interdisciplinary understanding by considering the reflections voiced at the 2017 Centenary Conference of Zürich University Library and by going far beyond the topics of that conference.
