This event is part of the Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives Event Series:
- PhD workshop: Beyond Search: Opening Up Audiovisual Content for Humanities Studies
25-26 September 2023 (2 ECTS provided by EPFL, travel subsidy available) - Symposium: New Paradigms for Accessing and Curating Audiovisual Collections
28-29 September 2023
—————————————————
Overview:
The digital era has witnessed a significant transformation in the accessibility and availability of cultural content in various formats, encompassing a wide range of art forms such as visual arts, cinema, literature, music, photography, and architecture. This shift from analogue to digital, referred to as the “grande conversion” by Milad Doueihi, continues to have a profound impact on our engagement with these creative expressions. By approaching this transition from the perspective of users’ expectations and objectives, considering their perceptions and abilities, we gain insights to navigate these changes effectively. This understanding enables us to develop and critically reflect on innovative interface processes that facilitate the emergence of new practices and experiences.
Spinning off the new book Les Devenirs numériques des patrimoines (The Digital Futures of Heritage), this event carefully curated a series of talks drawing on a variety of disciplinary perspectives and examples, showcasing the progress and advantages of working with the ever-changing technologies. Serving as a tantalizing teaser for the upcoming Symposium “New Paradigms for Accessing and Curating Audiovisual Collections”, the aim is to provide a glimpse into the rich and diverse tapestry of ideas that will be explored during the symposium.
