Expert Seminar on the Visual Arts: From Pigments to Pixels

Hosted by Mike Pringle, AHDS Visual Arts, University College for the Creative Arts, 27 April 2006.

As ever greater numbers of images join the information superhighway, the visual arts research community’s reliance on electronic, rather than analogue, images will inevitably increase. This one day seminar brought together experts from a number of different disciplines to discuss:

  • methods currently used for enabling the distribution and accessing of digital images in cyberspace
  • the relevance, mismatch, and unfilled gaps of such methods, particularly in relation to practice-led visual arts research
