Conférence de Henri Boniau : "Mémoires d'images"

The speaker, Henri BONIAU, is an Arts & Métiers engineer and former Director of ENSAM in Cluny.

Nothing predestined the Centre des Arts et Métiers de Cluny to become a centre of the Image and the pillar of the Image Valley dear to the President of the Region Jean-François BAZIN.
At the end of the 1980s, the continuing education centre became very interested in computer-assisted teaching. Unexpected funding from the Ministry enabled the first educational videos to be produced with the help of the LEP Marey de Beaune and its headmaster Henri SABY. But it was the Abbey of Cluny that was to be the focus of all attention. First, the dream of a student, Christian PERE, to see the Maior Ecclesia in all its splendour. The dream became reality in 1991 thanks to a German television programme. Hewlett Packard and Speedicon will end up upsetting IBM with CATIA and TDImage who will take up the challenge and produce the film Memories of Peter. The Germans settled for a book about their own experience. IBM will have a considerable media impact but will drown a little by releasing Memoirs of Water, which is much less successful. Cluny then capitalised on these performances by acquiring independence in the database and diversifying into applications closer to its core business. Two successive successes came to light at the Imagina trade fair in Monaco, a reference in the field, first with a tree felling simulator and then the production of "Relief of the Invisible", which transformed microscope images into a video of continuous immersion in matter.
The Image Institute was born, first in Cluny and then in Chalon sur Saône, home of Nicéphore Niepce, where a dedicated training course began, a prelude to the research that would follow.

Admission is free and open to all.
