> The DRH Steering Committee has recently agreed a small but
significant intermediate name-change from 'DRH' to 'DRHA': Digital
Resources in the Humanities and Arts. This name-change is intended to
particularly encourage participation in this year's forthcoming
Conference from practice-based artists and performers whose work
incorporates or utilises various digital resources.
>The annual DRH Conference focuses on advanced research methods in the
creation and use of digital resources in the humanities including
arts. This year the conference at Dartington College of Arts in Devon
(September 3rd-6th 2006) will be seeking to give a particular
prominence to practice-based proposals where digital work plays a
significant role in performances, exhibitions, recitals and studio-
based demonstrations dance, drama, theatre, film, music, sound, moving
image, photography, media, visual arts, installations, Internet-based
events, publishing, games etc).
> The call for proposals - including details of how to apply and
facilities on offer at Dartington 2006 - will be issued shortly. The
new emphasis will offer opportunities to artists and practitioners
working in various digital areas in addition to the customary DRH
range of academic papers addressing themes and strategic issues that
engagement with digital resources brings to scholarly research in the
arts and humanities.
> DRH annual conferences - addressing the most relevant issues in the
recent and contemporary digital revolution in the arts and humanities -
have occurred annually since 1996. Their goal is to bring together
creators, users, distributors and custodians of digital resources in
the arts and humanities.
> Please pass this notice on to likely interested parties and
encourage them to respond to the call for proposals.
