• Resumen

  • Part of a symposium on how digital technologies affect the practices of art and art history. The writer argues that a singular of images from the past and present serves both to illuminate optical formats and to communicate or construct research across diverse fields. She draws attention to three concerns raised by digital technology that go beyond conceiving the computer primarily as apparatus. Noting that these issues are central for the arts and humanities, as well as the social, biological, and physical sciences, she relates them specifically to an expertise in imaging, the interdisciplinary field to which, she argues, art history must aspire if it is not to be put out of cognitive and fiscal business.
