Collecting Born Digital Images in the Contemporary Museum.

该合作博士伙伴关系将考虑在当代博物馆背景下收集和展示“天生的数字”图像的挑战。术语“天生数字化”用于区分最初使用计算技术以数字形式创建的图像，以及后来被数字化的物理或模拟图像。数字图像本质上是混合的，并且位于以前独立学科的交汇处，它们经常挑战传统的分类，不容易被分配到艺术、设计和摄影等传统博物馆类别中。来自艺术和设计领域的数字图像，如建筑、计算机艺术、科学可视化和视频游戏创作，采用类似的生产实践和软件工具，但借鉴了截然不同的技术和美学传统。虽然在代码级别上它们可能有相似之处，但在文化和上下文级别上，它们通常有很大的差异。数字图像与制作、存储和展示它们的对象和程序之间的关系是复杂的，并引入了收集和展示的困难和非常重要的问题，以及对博物馆基础设施的压力。

This Collaborative Doctoral Partnership will consider the challenges of collecting and displaying "born digital" images within the contemporary museum context. The term "born digital" is used to distinguish images originally created in digital form using computational technology, to physical or analogue images that have later been digitised. Hybrid in nature and located at the convergence of previously separate disciplines, digital images often defy traditional classification and are not easily assigned to conventional museum categories of art, design and photography. Digital images from art and design fields as diverse as architecture, computer art, scientific visualization and videogame creation employ similar production practices and software tools yet draw from very different technical and aesthetic traditions. While at the level of code they may share similarities, at the level of culture and context they often diverge substantially. The relationship between digital images and the objects and programmes through which they are produced, stored and displayed is complex and introduces difficult and very material questions of collecting and exhibiting, as well as pressures on museum infrastructures.
