古刻薪傳——超越技術的中國書籍 Print and Preservation: Chinese Books Beyond Technology

「古刻薪傳——超越技術的中國書籍」 是由數碼藝術及創意產業系主辦、少雪齋傑出訪問學者計劃贊助，少雪齋藝術展覽館籌辦、並與電影與創意產業研究中心、策展與藝術史文學碩士課程合辦的一個跨學科研究項目。

「古刻薪傳」，顧名思義，旨在探尋書籍刻印歷史和技術的軌跡及其永續發展，並促成傳統與當代的連結和對話。本項目於二零二四年三月二十六至四月五日期間舉辦學術會議、公開講座、收藏家分享、體驗工作坊及展示，聚焦於明代宮廷刻印書籍，而涵蓋古今，呈現中國書籍刻印技術由雕版印刷至數碼印刷的演變，並探討出版、政治、性別和文化傳播等多個領域的關係。

Presented by the Department of Digital Arts and Creative Industries (DACI) and sponsored by the Chamber of Young Snow Distinguished Visiting Scholars Programme, Print and Preservation: Chinese Books Beyond Technology is an interdisciplinary research project curated by the Chamber of Young Snow Art Exhibition Hall in collaboration with the Centre for Film and Creative Industries and the Master of Arts in Curating and Art History programme. As the title suggests, this project aims to explore the history and technology of book printing and its sustainable development, and to promote the connection and dialogue between tradition and the contemporary. From 26 March to 5 April 2024, one symposium, three public talks, a collectors' sharing session, two experiential workshops and a showcase will be held, focusing on the imperial printed books of the Ming dynasty, surveying the evolution of Chinese bookmaking technology from woodblock to digital printing in the past and present, and looking into the relationship between various fields such as publishing, politics, gender, and cultural transmission.
