Call for Papers The Fragment in the Digital Age: Opportunities and risks of new conservation-restoration techniques International Symposium by the HAWK (Faculty of Architecture, Engineering and Conservation and the Hornemann Institute) in cooperation with the German National Scientific Committee for Conservation-Restoration of ICOMOS and the Verband der Restauratoren e. V. (Association of Restorers e.V.) May 13th until 15th 2020, HAWK in Hildesheim, Germany Application deadline: July 31st 2019 ([email protected]) Works of art are mostly handed down in fragments. The handling of the fragment is therefore one of the central tasks of conservators-restorators. The focus of the conference lies on what the new digital possibilities mean for the preservation and mediation of the historical fragment. Experts from various disciplines currently observed a gap between the increasing importance and professionalization of the visual reconstruction of the historical and the theoretical foundation. After an introduction to the history of the fragment and its restoration/presentation, lectures will follow on the theoretical foundations of the conservation/restoration of fragments, also taking into account international documents and charters (e.g. the charters of London and Seville). Based on current projects, the effects of digitalization on the fragmentarily preserved work of art and its mediation will then be discussed in concrete terms. The aim is to produce a practice-oriented paper on how to deal with the fragment in the restoration sciences. We therefore ask for one-page abstracts, at most, for lectures and posters from the different fields of conservation-restoration in the exhibitions and the historical monument preservation: - Basic contributions on the opportunities and risks of the new techniques in conservation-restoration, with a critical evaluation of the latest developments and with suggestions on current guidelines for theory and practice. - Current case studies on interdisciplinary cooperation between conservation-restoration experts and specialists in new media, also with regard to the mediation and presentation of fragments. - Research projects that seek to demonstrate the scientific validity of digital models, i.e. the degree to which a digital reconstruction of a fragment is based on scientifically reliable sources.
