Title: Meta-Image – a collaborative environment for image discourse
Authors: Dieckmann, Lisa; Kliemann, Anita; Warnke, Martin
Abstract: The aim of the project Meta-Image, funded by German Research Foundation (DFG), is to provide a networkbased research environment for art history and other sciences concerning visual culture. It consists of the two components prometheus and HyperImage. Meta-Image combines the distributed digital image archive prometheus, which consists of a very large pool of images, with HyperImage (http://www.hyperimage.eu), a tool for image annotation. prometheus provides over 700,000 images in nearly 60 connected image databases; Hyperimage facilitates collaborative work directly on the image. The numerous users, the secure legal context for use and the existing technologies for collaborative research make prometheus a perfect subject for HyperImage. This image annotation tool serves as an instrument to support research in art history. It allows the identification of motifs, the creation of linked image networks as well as the addition of metadata. This synthesis creates the ability to reorganise, juxtapose and annotate images in a way that can lead to new conclusions concerning image-based research. Art history and other cultural studies can finally realise the potential of the network based and collaborative analysis of images.2010-01-01T00:00:00ZDigital storytelling in Africa

Title: Digital storytelling in Africa
Authors: Marsden, Gary; Ladeira, llda; Reitmaier, Thomas; Bidwell, Nicola J.; Blake, Edwin
Abstract: In this paper we examine how digital technology can be used to inspire, record and present oral stories in an
African context. In particular we explore how to create technologies that are sympathetic to the cultures of the
storytellers, both in the capture of stories and their retelling. Specifically, we look at: inspiring stories in District Six in
Cape Town; capturing digital stories from users with low literacy levels and using virtual reality to retell indigenous
and personal experience narratives.2010-01-01T00:00:00ZMorph! An interactive approach to transform buildings to life

Title: Morph! An interactive approach to transform buildings to life
Authors: Kozuhovskij, Sergej; Szmidt, Peter; Hemken, Benjamin; Paul, Jennifer; Karayel, Meltem; Riemann, Sonja; Jacob, Martin; Cohrs, Christian; Molnar, Alexander; Trees, Joshua; Schönke, Luisa; Davydenkova, Darya; Stöhlmacher, Eva; Chandrapalan, Shuratha; Krannich, Dennis; Schröder-Kroll, Roland; Malaka, Rainer
Abstract: The use of digital media for interactive art installations is increasingly popular. Art and technology merge.
Our intention is to create interactive art installations that offer an incentive to interact playfully with the surrounding
environment. Motivated by this, we developed and realised two forms of installations: an interactive screen with several
and a light cone installation.2010-01-01T00:00:00ZEmploying Semantic Web technologies to provide dynamic content for electronic museum guides

Title: Employing Semantic Web technologies to provide dynamic content for electronic museum guides
Authors: Kuper, Heinz-Günter
Abstract: Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of the Semantic Web promises to make the targeted retrieval of online information far more accurate. As Semantic Web technologies mature, software systems will be able to deliver detailed information regarding particular artefacts on the fly in a museum environment, thus answering visitor queries that were not anticipated by the content creators. This paper explores some of the issues associated with providing such a solution.2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
