Digital and Print: Living in a World of “Both/And” « The Signal: Digital Preservation We can start by thinking about what a similacrum (or representation) is, and what it is not. When color slide film came into wide use, changing how art history was taught, a ‘color slide controversy’ arose. People worried that the simulacrum would gain primacy and *become the work of art *in students’ minds*,* especially if they never spent time with originals. Not only would they miss out on impacts related to a work’s context and physical aspects (such as its true size, colors, and textures), but the new technology could change perception itself. “Losing the artifactuality of the artifact matters,” Suarez said. “It matters in books as well. An image is not the book.” http://1.usa.gov/JmEkoR Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/05/digital-and-print-living-in-a-world-of- “bothand”/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/JmEkoR+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
