From Press to Pixels: Historical Tools and New/Digital Media

Is there really anything new about producing text and images? From fine letterpress printing to avant–garde experimentation in digital media production, historical media shapes the contemporary and e-media recapitulates the past.

Listen in on a discussion between Rob Barnes and Trace Reddell about media.

Understand the contemporary views of Trace Reddell, Director of the Media Studies Program at the University of Denver, and how the new field of digital studies pays tribute to five centuries of printing. Learn how craftsman Rob Barnes of Foils and Dies Vintage Pressworks in Denver, uses the experience of centuries of letterpress predecessors to bring fresh life to text.

Sponsored by the CU–Boulder University Libraries, Book Arts League, Friends of the Libraries, ATLAS Institute, English Department, Colorado Calligraphers’ Guild, and Center for Humanities and the Arts.
