Just wanted to let you know that the Art History Grad Conference that I helped organized is this weekend. The theme is Access/Restriction, and it is a one-day interdisciplinary graduate student conference that investigates historical and contemporary issues of accessibility, limitations and control in visual culture. There are a couple papers being presented that have a bit of a DH twist that some of you may be interested in attending:
Session 2: Archives and Retrieving Memory (11:15-12:45) Emma Hamilton-Hobbs (Carleton), "The Topley Studio Fonds: Accessing Historical Photographs in the Digital Age"
Jessica Jacobson-Konefall (Queens) "Archiving and Online Exhibitions at Urban Shaman: Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery"
Session 4: Spaces of New Media Art (3:00-4:00pm) Jessica Kirsh (Concordia) "Surveillance, Anxiety and Memory: Human versus Machinic Control in the Work of Jim Campbell"
Julie Hollenbach (Queens) "Youtube as the Realm of Resistance: The 2010 Youtube Play Biennial"
