The administrative offices of the Visual Media Center are located
at both 820/821 Schermerhorn Hall and 653 Schermerhorn
Extension. We maintain two production studios:
The Paula Vial Lempert Art History Media Studio
for Education and Research in 821 Schermerhorn
The Archæology and Historic Preservation Media Studio
for Documentation, Conservation, and Interpretation in 661
Schermerhorn
We have excellent capabilities in Web design, video and audio
production, image processing, programming, modeling, and animation.
About one-dozen workstations are connected via a local area
network to an Apple server. Our dedicated Web server and image
database operates on a Sun Microsystems server. By working closely
in Schermerhorn Hall and Schermerhorn Extension with the Historic
Preservation Architectural Conservation Laboratory, Archæology
faculty, and the Art History Slide and Photograph Collections
we are building a shared group of inter-related facilities and
programs through the Cultural Resources Initiative.
These are permanent, fixed facilities. Just as important; however,
is the capability and equipment we have to conduct expeditions
in the field. This includes portable computers, still film cameras,
digital still and video cameras, tripods and jib arms, lighting,
and sound. We can analyze and record a building or site in the
field as we have done with Amiens Cathedral, the Cloisters,
and the Alhambra.
