The Context of the ResearchEduardo Paolozzi was not the subject of sustained academic attention during his lifetime. His only major retrospective was in 1971 at the Tate Gallery, which was not a critical success. The time is now ripe to look again at his work, which was and is provocative, crossing barrriers between printing, collage, sculpture, film and design. The conceptual frameworks offered by digital media and film making will enhance this re-evaulation. The Metallization of a Dream is the title of a collaborative project between the critic Lawrence Alloway and the artist Eduardo Paolozzi, which resulted in the publication of a limited edition, illustrated book in 1963. It dealt with many Independent Group obsessions, including new technology, popular culture, the relationship between body and machine and visual representation. The book's aesthetic is typical of Paolozzi's work of that time; it is chaotic, rough and non-sequential. This project is inspired by, and builds upon, these obsessions and aesthetic and will re-evalute the work of Paolozzi and the Independent Group using digital media. The Independent Group had met from 1952-55 at the I.C.A. in London. Although the Group met over only a short period of time, the influences and inspiration for their work represent a rich cross section of American and European sources from a comprehensive range of media. The diverse creative work and rich programme of discussions spanned architecture, design, popular culture and technology. The Group are conventionally regarded as 'The Fathers of Pop' (the title of an Arts Council film produced in 1979) and this project aims to destabalise that particular reading, by reconsidering Paolozzi as an exponent of l'Art Brut, a significant critical thinker and film maker. The possibilities offered by today's technology for interrogating the material will offer a fresh understanding of Eduardo Paolozzi and the Independent Group, and make a contribution to the digital history of art. Aims and ObjectivesThe main aim of the project is to offer a fresh understanding of the early life and work of Eduardo Paolozzi by means of a short, documentary film and conference paper. The film will be screened and the conference paper delivered at the Tate Modern conference, to be held on the 22nd and 23rd March 2007. As such, it represents a new departure for the Principal Investigator, who has conducted academic research on the Independent Group over the past twenty-five years, and now wishes to explore the possibilities of digital technology for re-evaluating the work of one of its leading creative practitioners. The Tate Modern conference will present the opportunity to stimulate debate amongst the research community and the broader public. It will advance knowledge and understanding about the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, both within his intellectual and creative context and the context of digital media. The second aim of the project is to lay the groundwork for a much larger scheme, focussing on the Independent Group beyond the 'Fathers of Pop' reading, to gather and store materials, provide signposts, support research and explain the significance of the Group today by means of a dedicated website. Potential Applications and BenefitsThe production of the film and presentation of the conference paper will stimulate academic debate and share knowledge and understanding of the work of Eduardo Paolozzi with a broader public. It will alert the audience to the work of Paolozzi and the Independent Group beyond the Pop Art paradigm, by introducing his extensive film work and range of references. The project will also enable the Principal Investigator to extend the limits of her research practice, acting as a case study for other researchers in the creative arts. The development of a web resource will also provide an up to date set of information about sources and current work on Paolozzi and the Group internationally.

eduardo Paolozzi在他的一生中并没有受到持续的学术关注。他唯一的大型回顾展是1971年在泰特美术馆（Tate Gallery）举行的，但没有取得重大成功。现在是时候重新审视他的作品了，这些作品跨越了印刷、拼贴、雕塑、电影和设计之间的障碍，无论是过去还是现在都具有挑衅性。数字媒体和电影制作提供的概念框架将加强这种重新评估。《梦的金属化》是评论家劳伦斯·阿洛维（Lawrence Alloway）和艺术家爱德华多·保罗齐（Eduardo Paolozzi）合作项目的标题，该项目于1963年出版了一本限量版的插图书。它涉及了许多独立团体的痴迷，包括新技术、流行文化、身体与机器的关系以及视觉表现。这本书的美学是当时保罗齐作品的典型；它是混乱的，粗糙的，无顺序的。该项目受到这些痴迷和审美的启发，并以此为基础，将重新评估Paolozzi和独立小组使用数字媒体的工作。独立小组从1952年至1955年在伦敦的ica开会。虽然该小组只在很短的时间内会面，但他们的作品的影响和灵感来自广泛的美国和欧洲媒体。多样的创意作品和丰富的讨论项目涵盖了建筑、设计、流行文化和技术。这个团体通常被认为是“波普之父”（1979年艺术委员会制作的一部电影的标题），这个项目旨在通过重新考虑Paolozzi作为重要的批判性思想家和电影制作人l' art Brut的代表来打破这种特殊的阅读。今天的技术提供的可能性，审问的材料将提供一个新的理解爱德华多·保罗齐和独立集团，并为艺术的数字历史做出贡献。目的和目标该项目的主要目的是通过一个简短的纪录片和会议论文，为爱德华多·保罗齐的早期生活和工作提供一个新的理解。影片将于2007年3月22日至23日在泰特现代美术馆举行的会议上放映，会议论文将在会上发表。因此，它代表了首席研究员的一个新的出发点，他在过去的25年里对独立小组进行了学术研究，现在希望探索数字技术的可能性，以重新评估其领先的创意从业者之一的工作。泰特现代美术馆的会议将为激发研究界和广大公众之间的辩论提供机会。它将促进对Eduardo Paolozzi作品的认识和理解，无论是在他的智力和创造性背景下，还是在数字媒体的背景下。该项目的第二个目标是为一个更大的计划奠定基础，重点关注“流行之父”阅读之外的独立团体，收集和储存材料，提供路标，支持研究，并通过专门的网站解释该团体今天的意义。潜在的应用和好处电影的制作和会议论文的展示将激发学术辩论，并与更广泛的公众分享对Eduardo Paolozzi工作的知识和理解。它将通过介绍Paolozzi广泛的电影作品和参考范围，提醒观众超越波普艺术范式的Paolozzi和独立团体的作品。该项目还将使首席研究员能够扩展其研究实践的局限性，为其他创造性艺术研究人员提供案例研究。网络资源的开发还将提供有关Paolozzi和集团在国际上的来源和当前工作的最新信息。
