| Year 1: Summary |
- To enable students to study and critique contemporary culture through new visual means that fully integrate interdisciplinary, traditional and contemporary printmaking art practices with current digital technology.
- To further dialogue concerning this type of innovative research among students and faculty at UBC and at other institutions, and to enable UBC to be at the leading edge of the current revolution in printmaking practice and critical discourse.
- To employ a student(s) to assist other students in the application of new digital technology in their print-based research, and to assist in the building of a printmaking web-link for our department web-site.
- To obtain the limited amount of additional equipment and supplies that will facilitate making the above goals possible.
We live in an age in which the cultural and social role of images is central. This grant would afford students and faculty the means to study and critique contemporary culture through new and Innovative visual means that fully integrate traditional and contemporary printmaking with digital technology. Until now, the mediated images of the present (i.e., photographs, mass-media and digitally-generated images) have been difficult, and often impossible, to successfully Integrate Into print. Now the ability to mesh photographic and digital Images with traditional print-based media of etching, lithography, screen printing and wood block printing is available. With minimal additional resources, we have the ability to be at the leading edge of this revolution in printmaking practice and critical discourse.

| Year 2: Summary |
- To ensure the continuation of work begun under the TLEF grant titles “Integrating Digital Imaging Into Visual Art Printmaking Practice,” enabling students to study and critique contemporary visual culture through new visual means that fully integrate interdisciplinary, traditional and contemporary printmaking art practices with current digital technology.
- To obtain funding to hire three student assistants (under the Work Study Programme) for the Winter Term 2002-03, while I and others in our Department and Faculty attempt to resolve some of the unanticipated developing resource issues, human and financial, related to the integration of digital technology into existing programs within our Department. The students would (1) assist other students in the application of new digital technology in their print-based research, and (2) further complex, visual/technical research that must be systematically addressed, solved and documented to form a knowledge resource base that is key to the successful integration of digital technology into traditional print practice.
