With Cells by Dominique Cunin, we are the chief architects. In this interactive
space a well-proportioned space strangely stands out in pitch-black, despite and
thanks to the elementary units’ ballet we are taking hold of. Moment builders,
by the movement we are giving to these blocks of concrete devoid of any weight,
it is up to us to adjust the space around this center of gravity to inscribe in
it our point of view at the same time as our action. Moved by fissiparous
dynamics, the white blocks break down while growing, it is the organic division
which responds to our hold. Thus is represented the blurred elusive start
between the operator’s decision and the program. Computer metaphor of the urban
condition. This game outcome is worthy : we haven’t built but deconstructed, yet
we are reminded of our urban destiny, the mass cellular architecture.

Conference and Seminars.
May the 11th and the 12th. Participation
in the colloquium "The Portals of Art History" organized at the Sterling
and Francine Clark Art Institute by Michael Ann
Holly and Mark Ledbury with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
This colloquium, funded by
the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant to the Clark's Research and Academic
Program, brings together experts and pioneers of Art History as represented in
the digital universe. . As with all Clark colloquia, instead of formal “papers”
, meetings are supposed to concentrate on structured discussion and debate
around a set of questions. It is our hope that long-term visions for the field
of Art History/Visual Studies, and key strategic questions, will occupy as much
of the discussion time as specific questions about individual technologies.
The aim is to bring together
those who have been instrumental in creating the new digital gateways to
information, scholarship, and resources in art history and criticism, whether
in the museum, academic, or commercial worlds.
We envisage two days of roundtable discussions: focused on what has been
achieved by the new digital initiatives, what challenges these initiatives
face, and what the future might have in store for the digital portal or
gateway? What are the advantages,
limits, and possibilities of on-line art history? What kinds of art history and criticism are
represented on the web and what kinds are absent? What has motivated your own intervention in
this field? What special role does your
site/journal/initiative bring to the discipline? Where are future developments going to
lie? And, how might the “webmasters” of
art history's digital age collaborate to expand the possibilities? What might “Web 2.0” do for the
art history community?
Convenors : Michael Ann Holly et Mark
Ledbury.
Participants : Petra ten - Doesschate Chu, Katy Deepwell, Charles
Henry, Godehard Janzing , Bill Kelly Jr, Christine Kuan, Teresa Lai, Max
Marmor, John Prown, Didier Rykner, William Tronzo, Corinne Welger-Barboza,
Chris Whitcombe.

Study Journey.
We are taking advantage of
Corinne Welger-Barboza's invitation to the colloquium "The Portals of Art
History" at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute to extend our stay
in the United States. With Aurélia Chossegros whose Sites à la loupe (The William Blake
Archive & Nines )
have favoured contacts across the Atlantic, we are undertaking a visit of the East Coast main centers in Digital
Humanities. Three stages are planned in this Grand Tour.
Finally, our Links Repertories (Répertoires) have grown with the addition of more than sixty new links :
- 22 links for
the Mediating Websites Repertory (Sites Médiateurs) ;
- 33 links for
the Resources Repertory (Ressources) ;
- 6 links for the Net art Repertory.
Have
a nice visit.
