"The Digital Image"
Conference on
Pictorial Arts and Information Technology
Bergen, 17-19 October 1991
ARRANGED BY:
Department of Art History, University of Bergen
The Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities
IBM Bergen Scientific Centre
"The Digital Image"
Conference on Pictorial Arts and Information
Technology
Digital images represent new possibilities for storage,
analysis and presentation of still pictures and video,
and recent developments in computer technology
yield high quality reproductions. This technology
may be applied in a number of disciplines, such as
art and cultural history, film studies, theatre and
drama, pedagogy, museum work, library and
documentation sciences and in the graphics industry.
The purpose of the conference is to present the state
of the art in digital image technology. Some of the
world's leading experts will show, through
presentations and demonstrations, how this
technology may be applied in various disciplines,
while some of the presentations will deal with
ongoing research in advanced digital image
processing.
The projects to be presented will mainly deal with art
and cultural history and museum work, but projects
in film analysis, pedagogical applications and
pictorial data bases will also be demonstrated.
Some of the projects to be presented are the results
of joint national and international efforts involving
several disciplines. Systems in use in Norwegian
collections and museums will also be demonstrated.
In addition to the series of presentations listed here,
there will be a number of demonstrations. The
program for the demonstrations will be presented
later. During the conference the participants will have
access to a fully equipped demonstration room, to
allow demonstrations for smaller audiences.
