Collecting Born Digital Images in the Contemporary Museum.

这一博士合作伙伴关系将考虑在当代博物馆背景下收集和展示“与生俱来的数字”图像的挑战。术语“天生数字化”用于区分最初使用计算机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，位于以前独立学科的汇合点，往往无视传统分类，不容易被归入传统的博物馆艺术、设计和摄影类别。来自建筑、计算机艺术、科学可视化和视频游戏创作等不同艺术和设计领域的数字图像使用相似的制作实践和软件工具，但却来自非常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，它们往往有很大的差异。数字图像与制作、存储和展示它们的物品和节目之间的关系是复杂的，这带来了收集和展示方面的困难和非常具体的问题，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.
