Imagery in the 21st Century
Scholars from science, art, and humanities explore the meaning of our new image worlds and offer new strategies for visual analysis. We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visu...
Virtual Systems and Multimedia
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia, VSMM 2007, held in Brisbane, Australia, in September 2007. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 initial submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement.

Inside the World's Major East Asian Collections
Inside the World's Major East Asian Collections examines the rise of the "LAM, an acronym that stands for libraries, archives and museums. In doing so, this book profiles leading experts—librarians, archivists and museum curators—who specialise in East Asian collections from across the world. In examining the dynamically shifting role of the cultural institution in the context of managing information and collections, this book provides important themes offered by these cultural experts in understanding the necessary professional skills, knowledge and personalities that are required for working in such environments of varying size, scope and composition in LAMs. As galleries, LAMs manage ...
Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage
Theoretical and practical perspectives from a range of disciplines on the challenges of using digital media in interpretation and representation of cultural heritage.
The Future of Museums
This book explores―at the macro, meso and micro levels and in terms of qualitative as well as quantitative studies―the current and future role of museums for art and society. Given the dynamic developments in art and society, museums need to change in order to remain (and in some ways, regain) relevance. This relevance is in the sense of a power to influence. Additionally museums have challenges that arise in the production of art through the use of permanent and rapidly changing technologies. This book examines how museums deal with the increasing importance of performance art and social interactive art, artistic disciplines which refuse to use classical or digital artistic media in the...
Virtuelle Welten?
Das Internet als Netz der Netze repräsentiert eine technische Infrastruktur, auf deren Basis heute eine weltumspannende Kommunikation zwischen Rechnern und zwischen den sie nutzenden Menschen möglich ist. Die Nutzungsformen des Internets sind vielfältig und beeinflussen die verschiedensten Lebensbereiche. Doch was am Internet ist virtuell und was real? Die Abgrenzungsproblematik zwischen Realität und Virtualität einerseits sowie die scheinbar unauflösbaren Zusammenhänge zwischen Virtualität und Realität andererseits sind das Leitthema dieses Bandes. Die unterschiedlichen Ansatzpunkte der Verfasserinnen und Verfasser aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen ermöglichen vielfältige Einsichten in die Wirkungen der «virtuellen» Medien des Internets.
Neues Erbe
Die zunehmende Digitalisierung von Informationen und ihre ausschließliche Produktion in digitalen Formen führen zu einer sehr hohen Technikabhängigkeit. Das dokumentarische Erbe, das wir zukünftigen Generationen überliefern, wird primär ein digitales Erbe sein, dessen Erhaltung und Überlieferung heutige Gesellschaften vor große und bisher weitestgehend ungelöste Probleme stellt. Der vorliegende Band leistet disziplinübergreifend eine erste Annäherung an das Themenfeld der digitalen Überlieferung.
Museum and Archive on the Move
The digital revolution fundamentally changed how cultural heritage is created, documented, analyzed, and preserved. The book focuses on this transformation’s impact. How must museums and archives meet the challenges of digitally generated cultures and how does the digital revolution influence traditional object collection, research, and education? How do digital technologies and digital art and culture affect our interaction with images? Leading international experts from various disciplines break new ground. Pioneering interdisciplinary research results collected in this book are relevant to education, curators and archivists in the arts and culture sector and in the digital humanities.
