<nettime> EUscreen exhibitions released |
Dear madam/sir, EUscreen makes thousands of items from Europe’s television history freely available through its online portal and through the European heritage portal Europeana. The project now announces its online exhibitions, a new addition to the portal that helps users, educators and the general audience to get the most out of this exciting collection. We would like to warmly invite you to visit http://www.euscreen.eu/exhibitions.html and to share the news in your publication, within your networks and to interested friends and colleagues. Please find the full press release and audiovisual materials at http://euscreen.pressdoc.com/33201-euscreen-releases-online-exhibitions. Thank you for attention, apologies for any possible cross-posts, Erwin Verbruggen // EUscreen consortium == Press text: The EUscreen collection includes thousands of items. To help users get the most from the EUscreen material, researchers, experts and members of its partner broadcasters and audiovisual archives have created a series of online exhibitions. These exhibitions cover historical events, political debates and everyday life in Europe. The current release, visible at http://www.euscreen.eu/exhibitions.html, brings online 10 different exhibitions, some of which are divided into subchapters or strands. The exhibitions are created by archivists, researchers, and enthusiasts. Johan Oomen, EUscreen Technical Director: These inter-archival exhibitions add new meaning to a wonderful collection of unique television materials and make them accessible to a different and larger audience; soon, visitors will be able to create their own stories and add more connections between the richness of 60 years of television history in Europe. Expert knowledge and a fascinating range of materials combine to offer exciting exhibitions on a wide range of subjects. A fine example of such an exhibition is the exhibition Being European, which brings together source materials from providers across the continent and is divided in multiple strands that showcase what European culture and identity may signify. The tools designed for these exhibitions allow for the insertion of multimedia materials from all the project’s content providers and link back to the original items on the site, where users can find out more about them, share the links or get in touch with the providers themselves. Many more exhibitions will become available over the next couple of months and EUscreen is working hard to get the tools ready for everyone to start creating their own exhibitions. == END Erwin Verbruggen Project employee, Research & Development Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision T +31 35 677 1691 M +31 615 360 371 Skype erwinverbruggen Discover Europe's Television Heritage at www.euscreen.eu Join the Film Scanning Interest Group at prestocentre.org/cinexpres # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
