Resumen de Digital imagery and user-defined art
Part of a symposium on how digital technologies affect the practices of art and art history. The writer, an art historian working mainly on 17th-century Dutch painting, considers the possible effects on museum objects of the changes taking place in the way images are generated and transmitted. He discusses which of the practices associated with digital imagery is apt to have the greatest effect on museum objects and what form this might take. He concludes that the combination of digital imagery and the sanctification of art should be particularly guarded against.
