Possibilites Accessibility Searchability Repatriation
Tangibility Comparability: Kinovea Searchability: Tagging and Meta Tagging The film company British Path digitized over 90,000 films and clips and made them searchable Digitization services: ex. Colorlab- specializing in 16mm films The Future of Information Alliance, Presented at University of Maryland
Beginning Again, through Digitization Former sponsors: National Endowment for the Humanities National Institute of Health Rockefeller Foundation Ford Foundation National Science Foundation We now need help over the final, massive hurdle: the price of digitization. The Future of Information Alliance, Presented at University of Maryland
The Future Possibilities of Choreometrics If this massive digitization initiative is funded, then we will see each other more clearly through dance. If the film elements can be digitized, then the Global Jukebox can be accessed and the dances returned to those who dance them. If this 20th century project can be realized through 21st century technology, our century will better know human history through dance.
