[MCN-L] [DM SIG:]2013 MCN Presentations from DMSIG

2012-11-15 Thread Rob Lancefield on lists
Hi all,

Great ideas. I'd also love to see a session on the procedures and the 
underlying technical means by which certain museums are providing Open 
Access images to end users. This would be focused more on the nuts and 
bolts (from infrastructure to user experience) of image delivery than on 
image production or management, but it sure would be interesting.

A key aim could be to learn how some Open Access image providers are 
balancing optimally efficient delivery (minimizing both friction for 
users and allocated internal staff time) with the capture of meaningful 
use metrics (i.e., anything more than a raw log of image downloads).

Having floated this, maybe I should organize a session proposal

 To everyone I saw at MCN this year, it was great spending time with you in 
 Seattle!  We had a really good time.

 However

 One of the largest issues I had with the conference this year was the total 
 lack of presentations on imaging.  This clearly puts the ball in our court 
 and Id like to have us as a group come up with several proposals to submit 
 for next years conference. Since we are all extremely busy, it is entirely 
 appropriate to begin these discussions now.  As chair of the Digital Media 
 SIG I will do my part in officially underwriting proposals emanating from 
 this group to aid in their acceptance.

 A few back of the envelope ideas that were tossed around at the conference 
 for topics for next year were: 3D Imaging, Partnering with Conservation for 
 imaging (which would be a good way to draw more conservation talks into the 
 mix), and a panel discussion by institutions doing multi/hyper spectral 
 imaging.  These are by no means exhaustive as a list of possible topics but 
 rather a way to get the conversation started.

 Please reply to this thread with any other ideas you may have and Id like to 
 get some of them pinned down and get them pitched for the conference.

 If you need any incentives, the conference next year will be in Montreal, 
 home of poutine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine and Molson.  I look 
 forward to good presentations on digitization and artery hardening fare!

 Another piece of business was a proposal to change the name of our SIG from 
 the Digital Media SIG to the Digital Imaging Group SIG as this was perceived 
 to be more appropriate to the group.  Please respond with your thoughts.

 Thanks

 Chris.

Great, Alan. Your name on my hit list just lost its question mark!

If other MCN-L subscribers are interested in exploring the idea of 
speaking on an MCN 2013 panel on Open Access image delivery as floated 
below, please ping me off-list at rlancefield at wesleyan.edu. Thanks.

2012-11-15 Thread Rob Lancefield on lists
Chris and all,

Great! Now I'm even sorrier I had to miss your session (I was speaking 
in another room). Also, based on the print program's short abstract, I 
had mistakenly thought you would be focusing on policy and stakeholder 
buy-in, not on delivery implementation. It's good to know that the Open 
Access implementation topic actually did surface as well in Seattle.

Chris (and John and Melissa), your Yale team was also on my shortlist of 
people to tap for a cross-institutional session proposal with this 
different targeted subtopic next year. Let's talk offlist about this!

cheers,
Rob

I'd be willing to pull together a session on preservation strategies. I'm
hardly an expert, but there's a year to do it and it's an area that
interests me. Also, although not in the realm of digital imaging, I'd like
to see audio preservation added to the mix.

[MCN-L] [DM SIG:]2013 MCN Presentations from DMSIG

2012-11-15 Thread Jaki Levy
Not quite sure of the title - but I would add something like Emergent [or
experimental] Media.

During the closing of MCN2012, we broke out into mini groups and discussed
a few topics. One of the topic areas that I sat in on was Emerging Hardware
(think 3D Printing and Augmented Reality). See wiki for discussion :
http://www.mcn.edu/3d-printing-and-emerging-hardware

Personally, I'd like to see a discussion around RD of FabLab (fabircation
lab) type spaces in museums, centered around the question How can museums
facilitate innovation? I did a brief presentation re: networks
(presentation here :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/plf2myrziaktxkf/artsTech-mcn2012.pdf) that
touched on this idea, but there's more room for discussion.

When Facebook and Twitter were first emerging as viable communication
channels, we were seeing a good deal of innovation in how we were
communicating with the public. Here's an event we did in 2010 that looked
at how artists are using social media to create new work :
http://www.arrowrootmedia.com/2010/02/02/social-media-week-nyc-2010/

I'm curious how this practice of innovation can continue in our community
and beyond.

 3.Panel discussion by institutions doing multi/hyper spectral imaging
 4.Open Access technical Infrastructure
 5.Digital preservation strategies for both still and moving images ?

 6.Stitching for preservation imaging oversize materials (apertures to

 7.Lossless, Visually lossless, Perceptually lossless, and Lossy JP2

 8.Panel on studio production management: techniques, tracking systems,

 Again, these are mostly only proposed, not actual so lets keep discussing
 and refining.  Any other ideas would be most welcome!

Hi All,

It's so exciting that you are already working on next year's topics!

Dale Kronkright and Megan Jacobs did an excellent session this year on
capturing one-to-one 3D imaging that can be used for research (as opposed
to the 123D Catch quick approximations.) Dale showed how this is being used
to monitor shifts and changes in the Georgia O'Keeffe Abiquiu home.  They
also walked us through RTI capturing techniques using pretty accessible
equipment. Looking at the topics below, it might be good to keep them in
the loop.

Megan Jacobs mejacobs at nmhu.edu

Thanks,
Liz
