Professor David Arnold
Dean of the University of Brighton Doctoral College and Director of Research Initiatives
'Surrogates and Sustainability: the Opportunities and Challenges of the Digital'
The use of copies within Cultural Heritage contexts is not new, but has attracted mixed reactions over the last 200 or so years. In the 1800’s numerous works were copied in plaster ranging from large scale architectural features to smaller scale sculptures and used mainly in exhibitions and education, thereby improving access for these purposes. More recent opinions have tended to emphasise the need to have access to the original artefact and it embedded narrative, perceived by some as the aura of the object and only achievable when contemplating the original. Digital surrogates attract similar criticisms, but permit a wide range of applications that are not achievable with the original. However they also increase the burden on cultural organisations since the digital has to be created and preserved alongside the original. In this talk we will explore the range of digital objects that might be considered as surrogates and the cultural heritage challenges that they can help to meet, alongside the curatorial concerns that arise in their use.
About the speaker
After studying for MA and PhD at Cambridge, David Arnold was at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, from 1978-2002, where he was elected Dean in 1986, before being appointed Professor in 1989. In 2002 he joined the University of Brighton as Dean of the Faculty of Management and Information Sciences. He is now Dean of the University of Brighton Doctoral College and Director of Research Initiatives across the University. Alongside this he leads the Cultural Informatics Research Group.
Since the mid-90’s Professor Arnold has been leading research at the interface of technologies supporting the documentation and analysis of cultural heritage data. He has been the coordinator of two large EU projects: firstly EPOCH (Network of Excellence in Processing Open Cultural Heritage) which was an FP6 4-yr NoE involving 95 partners and secondly 3D-COFORM (Tools and Expertise for 3D Collection FORMation) – a 4-yr large scale Integrating Project under FP7 with 19 partners which ran until 2012. He is Co-Director of the EPSRC CDT in Science and Engineering for Arts Heritage and Archaeology and a member of REF2014 Sub-panel 36.
Professor Arnold is a past chairman of EUROGAPHICS and a past member of ACM Council, and was founding Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH).
