Optical-analogue language and digital resources
The general objectives of this emerging group focus on the analysis and study of the functions of the image that make the specificity of the visual language, especially with regard to those uses which refer to its instrumental character, their informative capacity and the necessarily multiple and potentially reproducible nature of the functional image.
In particular the group aims to research the production and reproduction of manual-optical and digital images, their resources and language. For this, they study analogue-optical devices both from a historical and technical point of view, looking at the nature of its language and its possibilities of hybridization and archiving with digital media.
Areas of research:
- Archaeology of artistic optical devices
- Design and construction of manually-digital hybrid capture devices and imaging.
