The DML will be hosting a talk by PhD student Deena Engel on Monday, February 22, at 12:15 pm. Her talk is entitled, “Reflecting on Digital Art History, Computational Art History & Beyond”
What is Digital Art History? What is Computational Art History? What kinds of software tools are used and how do these tools inform research on the history of art and design? The advent of the use of computers, digitization of images, and the web for transmission of information have opened the doors to large-scale content delivery and analysis. In addition, great strides in Computer Science using computational methods for digital image analysis have opened up new avenues in research methodologies in the visual arts.
In this talk, Deena will look at an overview of a wide range of digital methodologies and consider how and whether scholars find these to be successful in aiding their research towards a better understanding of the visual arts.
Wednesday, March 3, 12:15–1:15 pm
