DEADLINE FOR REDUCED CONFERENCE RATE - 12 OCTOBER 2007
CHArt TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE – BOOKING NOW
OPEN!
DIGITAL ARCHIVE FEVER
Thursday 8 - Friday 9 November 2007, Birkbeck,
PROGRAMME
Museums, galleries, archives, libraries and media
organisations such as publishers and film and broadcast companies, have
traditionally mediated and controlled access to cultural resources and
knowledge. What is the future of such ‘top-down’ institutions in
the age of ‘bottom-up’ access to knowledge and cultural artifacts
through Web 2:0 technologies. Will such institutions respond to this threat to
their cultural hegemony by resistance or adaptation? How can a museum or a
gallery or, for that matter, a broadcasting company, appeal to an audience
which has unprecedented access to cultural resources? How can institutions
predicated on a cultural economy of scarcity compete in an emerging state of
cultural abundance? The twenty-third CHArt conference will reflect upon these
issues.
