Nottingham Univeristy Hidden Collections Programme

From: David Smith <ASXDS1@NOTTINGHAM.AC.UK>

Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 09:18:03 +0100

Dear all,

I am contacting you regarding the cross-disciplinary AHRC-funded ‘Hidden Collections: From Archive to Asset’ programme, which will be open for recruitment from Friday 30th August and which will run throughout the 2012-2013 academic year. The programme offers opportunities for postgraduate Arts and Humanities research students to develop research skills and enhance their employability through workshops and industry projects with external partners (including Tate, New Perspectives Theatre, BFI, Nottingham Castle Museum & Gallery, the British School at Rome, Cambridge University Press).  The programme addresses the impact of new technologies ('digital transformation') on archives, collections and datasets from the perspective of image, object, manuscripts, film, theatre and corpora.  It will be delivered by industry professionals and academics from six leading Midlands Universities.  By participating in this programme, research students working in a broad range of areas such areas as corpus linguistics, archaeology, art history, history, film studies and theatre studies will gain valuable experience in engaging the public with research material through digital means. There is a specific workshop for Film which will be hosted by the BFI which would be of particular relevance to students of Cinema and Media.

From 30th August interested research students will be available to apply at www.hiddencollections.org. I would be grateful if you could disseminate this opportunity to students in your discipline. More information is available on the website.

Best wishes,
David Smith

The achievements made in computer-generated literature, sound and music, film / animation, architecture / urbanism, theatre / dance, product / graphic design / typography and hardware / software design of artists tools were included in the outputs of second research phase (not published yet): Chronology (28500 words about more than 400 items) and Bibliography (230 items).

COLLECTING AND PRESENTING BORN-DIGITAL ART - December

From: Paul Brown <paul_brown@MAC.COM>

Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 18:46:33 +0100

Forwarded from the [NEW-MEDIA-CURATING] aka CRUMB elist (also at jiscmail):


COLLECTING AND PRESENTING BORN-DIGITAL ART

14/12/2012 to 15/12/2012
COLLECTING AND PRESENTING BORN-DIGITAL ART. A matter of translation and (historical) knowledge.
A working conference organized by Baltan Laboratories in collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum

Eindhoven, 14 – 15 December 2012

“Why is it still easier to get an entire museum collection on the Internet than to get a single work of Internet-based art in a museum space?”

This question was posed during a book launch of the Viennese curator’s collective Context in August 2011. It very clearly points to one of the sore spots in the discussion of why there is so little digital art in museums collections. Although it is common to use digital technologies for information exchange both inside the museum and outside, through distributing content through their websites and social media platforms, the presentation and presence of digital art in museum collections is still rare.

This working conference will address significant changes in contemporary artistic production by facilitating knowledge exchange between different art worlds. Through discussions and analyzing several case studies we aim to increase understanding of each other’s aesthetics, art historical links, economies, technical challenges and  organizational structures.

Baltan Laboratories and Van Abbemuseum will host a two day working conference. The sessions will be led by, among others: Sarah Cook and Beryl Graham (CRUMB), Annie Fletcher (Van Abbemuseum), Ben Fino-Radin (Rhizome), Paulien ‘t Hoen and Gaby Wijers (SBMK/NIMk), Christiane Paul (Whitney Museum of American Art), Edward Shanken (University of Memphis), Jill Sterrett (SFMoma).

The international conference is by invitation only. In the evening of  Friday December 14th, a public event with international presentations is taking place in Plaza Futura, in Eindhoven.
