Moving the image: visual culture and the new millennium.
Annual CHArt Conference
National Gallery London
Friday 1st - Saturday 2nd September 2000
As the effects of the digital revolution become more widespread, it
is clear that the new technology is bringing about an increasingly dynamic
concept of the image. In the area of the history and analysis of visual
culture this has implications both for the conventional moving images of
film and television and for approaches to traditional forms of static
imagery - such as painting, sculpture and architectural constructions.
In this conference we set out to explore the changes that have
taken place through the introduction of digital technology to the study,
conservation and creation of visual artefacts. Amongst the topics we will be
covering will be;
Recording moving and static imagery.
Reconstructions and simulations. Exploring pictures and buildings in time.
Moving images on the internet. Image delivery.
The construction of virtual museums and visual archives. Official and
'pirate' sites. Digital imagery and the Law.
Effects on the meaning and interpretation of works or art.
'Fidgetal' Imagery. The drawbacks of motion.
