Learning to say Goodbye – Knowledge sharing on photographing and archiving work
KNOWLEDGE SHARING
Photographic documentation & Online Archiving of (your) artworks
Within the framework of the project “Learning to say goodbye” *, Globe Aroma organizes several moments where we share knowledge on documenting and archiving artworks.
MARCH 11 + 12
Do you have existing experience in documenting and digitally storing artworks and you would like to share this knowledge with others? Then you are welcome to participate in this two-day event
MARCH 11 | 15 – 18h | Introduction
- DOCUMENTING
What is the best way to take photos with a smartphone? How do you proceed with a camera on a tripod? What is the best light to photograph a work? At what distance? What are the best settings on my camera? etc …
In group we look at what knowledge is existing among the participants and we examine together how to achieve the best results depending on the available material.
- ARCHIVING
What is the best place to store your images? On a hard drive? A cloud system? Immediately on a website? A tumblr page or do you create a slideshow on YouTube?
Together we discuss what the possibilities are and what experiences the participants have. What is the most efficient way to store and share digital information? Or are there several?
MARCH 12 | 13 – 18h | Studio Photography
Together with the participants we will build a professional photo studio at Globe Aroma and teach each other, from our experience, the most efficient way to photograph artworks in this setting.
At the end of this two-day session, we will look for the most efficient way to pass on our collective knowledge to others and who is able to be there and at what times (see part 2)
