Posizione: House of Switzerland e IMS
The seminary on georeferences of historical fotography will discuss the public image during the antique of the republic based on historical fotographies and the contemporary possibilities given through the digital georeferenced system.
This seminary presents a longterm collaboration between the Instituto Moreira Salles’ Department of fotography and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL). Together they have worked on testing the innovative tool of monoplotting, which has been developed by the WSL and is a new approach to study historical urban dynamics. One of the projects aims is to research the possibilities of the incorporation of the generated data by the monoplotting system, into the ImagineRio platform. This platform has been developed by the University of Rice in Houston, Texas and its department of humanities.
