CALL FOR PAPERS/DRH UPDATE
CAA 2000 CONFERENCE SESSION:
"IMPACT OF ARTISTIC IMAGINATION ON SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN 20th CENTURY"
>Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:23:21 -0400
>From: "Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)" <asci@asci.org>
>Subject: LOOKING FOR ARTISTS.... for the encl. proposal for CAA 2000
Technological and scientific achievements from the conquest of space to
genetic cloning have transformed daily and intellectual life during the latter
half of the twentieth century. Yet science and technology do not progress in
a vacuum; diverse cultural developments have paved the way for discoveries and
achievements that have shaped our understanding of the world we inhabit. The
role that art has played in expanding the realm of the imagination, critical
to scientific and technological "discovery," has been particularly important
during the last half-century. Art does not merely react to conceptual shifts
brought about by revolutions in science and technology, it also inspires new
ways of thinking and working in these fields.
This panel, proposed as a studio art session for the College Art Association's
annual meeting in 2000, seeks to explore the nature of artistic/scientific/
technological collaboration during the second half of the twentieth
century. In particular, we would like to consider how artists have helped
scientists and technologists to devise new tools, models, or paradigms with
which to explore the natural world. Proposals for participation might
address the following questions: What can artists bring to science and
technology? Under what circumstances are collaborations most successful?
What does society at large stand to gain from these partnerships?

Preliminary Information
The Third International Conference brings together the creators,
users, distributors, and curators of Digital Resources in the
Humanities will be held in Glasgow in 1998.
DRH98 is the internationally recognised forum for all those
involved in and benefiting from the digitisation of our common
cultural heritage: the scholar producing or using an electronic
edition; the teacher using digital media in the seminar room; the
publisher finding ways to reach new markets; the librarian,
curator, art historian, or archivist wishing to improve both
access to and conservation of the digital information that
characterises contemporary culture and scholarship.
Conference Themes
Creation and management of digital resources (e.g. textual,
visual, and time-based). Integration of digital resources as
multimedia. Policies and strategies for electronic delivery, both
commercial and non-commercial. Cataloguing and metadata aspects
of resource discovery. Implications of digital resources and
electronic delivery for teaching, learning, and scholarship.
Encoding standards. Rights management (e.g. intellectual property
rights). Funding, cost-recovery, and charging mechanisms.
Digitisation techniques and problems.
Conference format
The conference will take up three intensive days of papers, panel
discussions, technical reports, and software demonstrations,
between the evening of 9th September 1998 and lunchtime on the
12th September 1998.
The atmosphere will, we hope, encourage a lot of energetic
discussion, both formal and informal. Leading practitioners of
the application of digital techniques and resources in the
humanities, from the worlds of scholarship, librarianship, and
publishing will be there, exchanging expertise, experience, and
opinions.
