CHArt 28TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Display: Consume: Respond - Digital Engagement with Art Thursday 15 - Friday 16 November 2012 The Association of Art Historians, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ www.aah.org.uk
This year's conference will look at how new developments in information and communications technology affect the ways in which we engage with art. New forms of digital display or emerging modes of viewing art may have profound effects on both our understanding of the artwork itself (the way we consume it) and our ability or appetite for describing, curating and managing it (how we respond to it).
The morning session on Friday 16th is at the Free World Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3GA
