Technology and 'the death of Art History' CHArt 2010 Conference


I have just signed up to attend this years CHArt conference which will explore the digital revolution's supposed interference with Art History.  The text below has been copied from the CHArt website.  You can view further information about the papers and how to sign up on their website.  Discounts are available before the 1st October 2010.

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's CHArt papers will 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
