Mini Seminar | Constellations of Images: ‘The Grande Conversion’ in Cultural Archives
September 27, 2023
This event is part of the “Narratives From the Long Tail: Transforming Access to Audiovisual Archives” Event Series organised by the consortium of the Swiss National Science Foundation Sinergia Project, a week-long series of events taking place at EPFL, Switzerland from 25th – 29th of September, that focus on exploring the exciting intersection of machine learning, visual analytics, digital museology, and archival science.
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.
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.
