group: EISIG (Electronic Image Special Interest Group)

Electronic images are ubiquitous and powerful and overlay the view we have of the real world with a surface veneer that variously simulates great depths of perspective, sophisticated aggregations of knowledge, illusions of movement, glimpses of far-off geography, representations of artistic achievement, and much else besides. Most cultural, scholarly and scientific activity now relies on the presence of the electronic image to support representations or manifestations of that activity, and now more than ever, it is critical that the images are robust, sustainable and broadly and easily interpretable, both now and into the future.

It is proposed, therefore, that the focus of this group should be about understanding the particular nature of the electronic image and how it needs to be viewed differently, understood differently, interpreted differently, and preserved and sustained differently to its analogue cousin. Precisely how we go about doing that is anyone's guess! ... Discuss
