Foreword
The history of art and new media are inextricably linked — both historically and in the present day. This publication can be described as an interdisciplinary reflection: it examines the confrontation and inter action between art history and new media, highlighting key developments, opportunities, and tensions. In eight studies, eleven researchers present new findings and explore the techniques and methods of new media — from electronic to digital and post digital media — and the challenges these pose for art history. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the history and historiography of new media to their practical application, use, and reception, as well as creative processes, material conservation, and mediation.
The Museum in the Digital Age
The “digital revolution” or “digital era” has affected most of the realms of our activities, in particular the domains of communication, creation, safeguarding and transmission of knowledge. Museums whose mission is to be open to the public, to acquire, conserve, research, communicate and exhibit the heritage of humanity are thus directly concerned by this revolution. This collection of interdisciplinary essays highlights the manner in which museums and curators tackle the challenges of digital technology. The contributions are divided into four groups that illustrate the extent of the impact of digital technologies on museums: exhibitions devoted to new media or mounted with the use of new media; the hidden face of the museum, the conservation of digital works of art; cultural mediation and the communication/promotion of museums using digital tools (applications, tablets, audioguides, etc.); legal aspects of the digitalisation of content, whether for creative purposes or preservation.
