Conference Contributions
October 2007
What is Megapixel?
A two day conference with screenings to discuss notions of "High Definition" and the repercussions this will have on TV, Film, Photography, Art and wider culture. We wish to embrace all areas of academic, practitioner and industry research in regard to this burgeoning technology, its usage, and the issues and challenges it engenders. We hope to encourage discussion which demystifies and illuminates the potential of greater bandwidth, and the craving for the real in an increasingly visual society. We will be mixing responses from academic theorists, technologists, media practitioners and cultural commentators.
Definitive Stories: new forms of expression? ?Steve Littman, University for the Creative Arts and Peter E Richardson University of Dundee.
The 'Definitive Stories' project investigates the deployment of High Definition technologies in an exhibition context. The research posed the question: Will HD technology deployed in an exhibition context, generate new forms of expression for artist/filmmakers?
Consequently, inviting artists and filmmakers to work with HD technology new approaches to the artefact itself have emerged; several of the participants have developed new techniques in their personal practice as a result of the project.
MEGAPIXEL, Room MEL106, Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, Cambridge CB1 1PT, UK
The Conference will take place at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge.
