<p>If you’ve wondered how museums organize and distribute their vast image collections, this workshop will introduce Digital Asset Management (DAM). Dive into DAM essentials like tagging assets and building taxonomies. Discover how DAM systems differ from – but interface with – collections databases like TMS. Gain hands-on experience with NetX, the same system used by GLAM institutions including The Met, Guggenheim, and Bard Graduate Center. Led by Mike Satalof, Archivist and Digital Asset Manager</p>
<p><em>This workshop counts as a Skill Training workshop for the Museum Practice, Digital Scholarship, and Public Engagement Concentration.</em></p>

<p>Forget about Canva and learn how to create art with code! In this hands-on workshop, curator, writer, and gallerist <a href="https://www.artxcode.io/artists/sofia-garcia">Sofia Garcia</a> will introduce students to generative and code-based art and will teach how to create unique dynamic and interactive computer-generated visuals with computer code. Using a free online code editor, we’ll walk through the entire process from conception to finished product with p5.js as our coding language. Led by Jesse Merandy, Director of Digital Humanities/Exhibitions and Michael Assis, BGC Doctoral Candidate.</p>
<p>There will be an introduction to the workshop beginning at 11:00 am, though students also have the option of joining at 12:15pm for the second part of the hands-on workshop.</p>
