Dear Furtherfield
If you know anyone who might be interested in this opportunity we would
love to hear from them.
Collaborative Doctorate King's College London and Tate
*Method, Purpose, Use and Value in the Technical Description and
Analysis of Software-Based Art *
Applications are invited to undertake a collaborative doctorate based at
King's College London and Tate to investigate two main questions: how
are software-based artworks to be described and represented for the
purposes of preservation, understanding and access? What constitutes
technical art history for software-based artworks?
The dissertation supervisors are Dr Mark Hedges (Department of Digital
Humanities, King's College London) and Dr Pip Laurenson (Head of
Collection Care Research, Tate). The student will join the research
teams at King's and Tate engaged in the four year EU-funded research
project _PERICLES_ <http://pericles-project.eu/> (2013 -- 2017), of
which King's is the coordinator. In the second year the student will be
based for some of the time within Tate's time-based media conservation
section in south London.
Candidates may come from a variety of relevant backgrounds, including
conservation, digital preservation, digital humanities, information
science, computer science or curatorial practice. Appropriate training
will be provided by the host institutions, to fill any gaps in the
candidate's background knowledge. It is, however, important that
candidates have an interest in and at least a basic knowledge of digital
technologies, as well as an interest in contemporary art practice. The
deadline for applications is *31 May 2014*.
The funding is provided by the Arts and Humanities Research Council for
UK residents.
