2009 VIA Workshop

Visualisation In Context: An Interplay of Practice and Theory

22-23 October 2009
University of Southampton


CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2009 VIA Workshop is designed to probe intersections between theory (which might traditionally be represented in terms of critique -- linear and written) and practice (which might increasingly be expressed in terms of production -- non-linear and visual) within the field of archaeology as well as other disciplines from the humanities and sciences.

Against the 2009 VIA Workshop's overall theme - Visualisation in Context: An Interplay of Practice and Theory -- attention will be called to arenas of practice encompassing the commercial, the academic, and the institutional in light of an historic examination of the triangulation between technology, training, and the process of visualisation. Where applicable, sessions will be open to papers featuring a strong project base or by referencing practical case-studies.

Contributors are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the 2008 VIA Workshop Report and to note the online video presentations of past papers -- both are available through the VIA project website www.viarch.org.uk.


SESSION INFORMATION

Session 1:
The Role of Pedagogy and Enskilling in Visual Practice
Chair: Stephanie Moser

This session will explore both the scholarly and the practical provision of visuality-related studies and their relative impact on past, present and future ways of visual-thinking and visual-doing. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, questions such as who undertakes training, what are their competencies, what education/training provision is being offered, why it is being offered, etc; the effects on visualising practice of professional development by way of accredited in-service training programmes; imperatives of identifying skills provision and defining skills levels in the visual domain; and, unravelling tensions between the academy and the workplace.

Session 2:
Toward A Virtual Archaeology?
Chair: Steve Woolgar (tbc)

As the shift in information and communication technologies continues apace, the unimagined possibilities for producing and distributing the results of scholarly research, compared to only a few years ago, demands that the profession examine the rationale and consequences of unanimously adopting technology as an organising principle. Technology is now challenging traditional structures of knowledge production, information exchange, work processes, and educational goals. The likelihood is that we are, all of us, chasing technology -- but to what end? Contributors to this session are invited to assess, amongst other things, the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the work place, the academy, and in a wider social setting with particular emphasis on who benefits from the adoption of visual-related digital technologies and why; how visualising technology is actually used and by whom; and, which communities are intended to benefit from the promises of ICT and how is the benefit realised?

Session 3:
Mapping the Effects of Digital Technology on Visualising Process
Chair: Simon James

The digital work environment has profoundly shifted all aspects of working practice, no less so than in the graphics office. This session invites contributions from practitioners and researchers and seeks to examine interactions between image-makers and digital technologies, as well as their resulting effects on the process of image generation; how digital technologies (re)shape our visual engagement with the material world; the impact of theory on the utilisation of digital technology; and, historic perspectives on traditional and digital methods in image-making. Contributors are encouraged to centre their papers on visual material from recent or current projects.

Session 4:
(Inter)Play of Practice and Theory: Case Studies
Chair: Sam Smiles

This session seeks to present papers in the form of case studies which highlight those instances where imaging technologies (whether material or virtual) have been actively involved in shaping comprehension, thus contributing to investigation and analysis in ways that cannot be replicated by other discursive forms (principally textual). Joint papers are invited from contributors who together demonstrate either a practice or a research background, thereby fostering collaborative approaches to the challenges of analysing visual practice and method. An historical dimension to this session will be encouraged by case studies featuring print-based publication and/or digital-based dissemination. Although not a requirement of the session, participants are encouraged to share reflections on their own work and place it in context of their expectations for future developments in the multimedia production of professional and scholarly forms of dissemination.
