Computers and the History of Art (CHArt)
Annual Conference, Wednesday 10 - Thursday 11 November 2010
Call for Papers
London, venue To Be Announced
In recent decades the traditional practices of Art History have come
increasingly under attack. This has led to changes so extreme that
some have talked of the 'death of Art History'.
The CHArt 2010 Conference wishes to explore the role of digital
technologies in the disruption of Art History and the profound changes
in the way that we display, consume and study art.
In 1985, when CHArt was founded, new technologies only had a minimal
impact on Art History. Twenty-five years on they have transformed the
entire artistic process, from the creation and presentation of art, to
its reception, dissemination and research. Reflecting on these
changes, we will consider how Art History has evolved and in what ways
digital technologies will continue to affect and transform the
discipline in the future. The conference programme will include a
panel discussion with invited experts.
This year CHArt is looking for papers that examine the impact of
digital technology on a range of issues including:
* Ownership, authorship, collaboration and re-use
* Access and participation
* Globalisation, communication and dissemination
* Research
* Pedagogy and teaching
* Conservation and preservation
* Commissioning, curation and documentation
We welcome contributions from all sections of the CHArt community: art
historians, artists, architects and architectural theorists and
historians, curators, conservators, scientists, cultural and media
theorists, archivists, technologists, educationalists and philosophers.
Postgraduate students are encouraged to submit a proposal. CHArt is able
to offer assistance with the conference fees for up to three student
delegates. Priority will be given to students whose papers are accepted
for presentation. An application form and
proof of university enrollment will be required. For further details

Submissions should be in the form of a 300-400 word synopsis of the
proposed paper with brief biographical information (no more than 200
words) of presenter/s, and should be emailed to [log in to unmask] by
Tuesday June 8th 2010.
Please note that submissions exceeding the stated word count will not be
considered.
