The Digital Workfile

Jour 1, Group 5

Andrea Kuchembuck, DOCAM Documentation Committee, Montréal

The presentation focuses on the research work conducted by the Documentation and Archival Management Committee and notably on the development of the “digital file of artwork.” We will present the evolution of case studies on three works by Jim Campbell: Photo of My Mother, Portrait of My Father, and Motion and Rest #5; and on the work Hylozoic Soil by Phillip Beesley.
