MIAP Thesis Presentations — April 14-16

April 12, 2010 /

FYI, you should find this interesting if you are available, and it might provide you with some ideas for viable capstone projects as well.

Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:17:12 -0400
From: Zack Lischer-Katz

Next week, from April 14-16, second year students will present their
final thesis projects. This event is open to the public, so please
feel free to distribute this information to others.

This year, thesis topics consider a wide range of preservation issues,
such as the aesthetic/ethical considerations of preserving
experimental film works, the development of new strategies for
preserving file-based video work and its metadata throughout its life
cycle, and the political/ethical pitfalls associated with
international initiatives that help digitize the audiovisual heritage
of post-colonial African countries, to name only a few.
