This symposium will explore new techniques for moving image analysis that is augmented by computational methods and tools. We will assemble scholars, librarians, archivists, and technologists to discuss current methods of research and brainstorm about aspirations for future interdisciplinary research. Keynote speakers will introduce brief presentations of new digital tools plus a screening of rare early cinema that is a central object of study. The symposium is organized by The Media Ecology Project at Dartmouth and sponsored by the Neukom Institute for Computational Science.
