The amount of data we have produced over the last 20 years has expanded enormously, with an increasing demand for technical imaging and ever-growing image file sizes.

The way the public can experience our art collections and monuments from the comfort of their armchair is unprecedented. With a click of the mouse, objects can be viewed from every angle, or you can virtually travel into the very heart of a painting. You make this possible and open this world (window) to the stories that our heritage brings forth.

Have you worked on exciting projects in recent years, or have you been busy with technical and scientific imaging? Have you been amazed by what appeared before your lens, or have you been engaged in photographic and studio workflows, image metadata, AI, DAM implementation and anything you can think of that will interest your international colleagues? This is your chance to share your experiences.
