Impression multicouleurs, multichromie, hexachromie, marché I - Introduction Internet engendre un bouleversement culturel considérable dans son association aux autres médias (papier, radio, TV TNT, téléphonie mobile). Il induit de profondes mutations dans la culture de travail et du commerce et introduit l’achat et l’appel d’offres en ligne (e-commerce) ainsi que l’échange de données à distance. Le Web dynamique est devenu la solution complète de communication. Une solution à moindre coût avec les avantages certains du feed-back, de la veille technologique et concurrentielle, de l'analyse de marché et de la réactivité. Des inventions dignes des meilleurs films de science-fiction ont vu le jour : miniaturisation, flexibilité, interpénétration avec le numérique et le Net. Imaginons l’avenir alors : plus de livres encombrants, plus de journaux dans les kiosques ou de magazines. Conséquences : Bouleversement des processus de production, aujourd'hui automatisés et numérisés, ainsi que des compétences et prérogatives. Format de fichier. II-3 - Xchromie

La lithographie La lithographie est l'une des techniques emblématiques de l'imprimerie au XIXe siècle. Mêlant art et technologie, cette technique a non seulement révolutionné l'affiche et l'illustration, permettant ainsi le développement de nouvelles formes d'expression, mais aussi la façon d'imprimer. L'invention d'Aloys Senefelder inaugure en effet un nouveau mode d'impression et d'expressionde de type planographique.

A Building That Resembles What It Stores: Salt for New York City’s Roads Photo Imagine a coarse chunk of gray salt 69 feet high. The $20 million Spring Street Salt Shed, nearing completion on the Manhattan waterfront, has drawn curious stares from drivers along West Street and from pedestrians and bicyclists in Hudson River Park. Folded, creased, dimpled and chamfered, its windowless, enigmatic facade is like a monumental work of origami. But once you know what it is — a concrete shed where 5,000 tons of de-icing salt for the roads of Lower Manhattan will be stored this winter — you’ll have a hard time getting the image of a giant salt grain out of your mind. “In some ways, it’s the simplest building I’ve ever designed and in some ways, it’s the most complicated,” said Richard Dattner, 78, who founded Dattner Architects 51 years ago.

Be More Creative: 7 Things to Learn From Leonardo da Vinci I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that since his death, the world has never really had another Leonardo da Vinci. While his name might conjure up images of famous works of art such as the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, or The Vitruvian Man, he was much more than an artist. In fact, he was an architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, expert in anatomy, geologist, mapmaker, and botanist. In short, he was a genius. Genius and creativity are closely linked. Michael Gelb--someone who makes his living teaching companies how to innovate--has written 13 books on creativity and innovation. Gelb says the fodder for his book came from studying Leonardo's notebooks. Here's what Gelb learned from the Italian master about what you need to be most creative. Curiosity Children are curious by nature, but as we grow up much of our inquisitiveness ebbs. "Almost all children in their natural state ask lots of questions.

Art History The bright red work of art (and 40 others) now protected Image copyright Historic England They were designed to bring public spaces back to life after World War Two - it was art for everyone.

It was created in 1970 by Bernard Schottlander. Working with Historic England, the government has now given his sculpture added protection.
