>In recent decades the traditional practices of Art History have come 
>increasingly under attack. This has led to changes so extreme that 
>some have talked of the 'death of Art History'.
>
>The CHArt 2010 Conference will explore the role of digital 
>technologies in the disruption of Art History and the profound 
>changes in the way that we display, consume and study art.
>
>In 1985, when CHArt was founded, new technologies only had a minimal 
>impact on Art History. Twenty-five years on they have transformed 
>the entire artistic process, from the creation and presentation of 
>art, to its reception, dissemination and research. Reflecting on 
>these changes, we will consider how Art History has evolved and in 
>what ways digital technologies will continue to affect and transform 
>the discipline in the future. This year's CHArt papers will examine 
>the impact of digital technology on a range of issues including:
>    * Ownership, authorship, collaboration and re-use
>    * Access and participation
>    * Globalisation, communication and dissemination
>    * Research
>    * Pedagogy and teaching
>    * Conservation and preservation
>    * Commissioning, curation and documentation

>KEYNOTE: Will Vaughan, Emeritus Professor of History of Art at

>
>CHArt is delighted that Professor Vaughan has agreed to start 
>proceedings off at the 2010 conference as CHArt is celebrating its 
>25th anniversary and he was one of the founding members of the group 
>back in 1985. From 1986 to 2003 he was Professor of History of Art 
>in the School of History of Art, Film and Visual Media at Birkbeck. 
>Previously he had been an Assistant Keeper at the Tate (1968-72) and 
>a Reader at University College London (1972-86). Professor Vaughan 
>was a pioneer of research into the use of computers and digital 
>applications in relation to Art History. His influence and vision 
>continues, reflected in current projects and research interests 
>within Birkbeck and beyond.

>The conference programme includes a panel discussion with invited experts.
