The Digital eJury System |
|
Benefit from Understanding the Process
By Chris Maher and Larry Berman |
Introduction
For many years, juries for events like the Smithsonian Craft Show relied
on slide projectors to view the work of potential exhibitors. Sets of
images would be projected in a dark room, while someone would read the
description provided by the craftsperson over the background hum of
projector cooling fans. This process had many inherent problems. Some
images might be more in focus than others and the color temperature and
brightness of bulbs in the projectors could vary widely. The pace of
viewing and judging was necessarily brisk, with each set of images being
shown for a very limited period of time. The ability to review and reflect
on the work by individual jurors was hampered by the inflexibility of the
multi projector system. Your only chance to make your impression was
within the few seconds your work was on screen. The introduction of
digital technology has positively affected many of these issues, providing
benefits for both juror and applicant. |
