Transcript Digital Art History?

Digital Art History?
Digital Art History:
The creation of any art historical project using
material that can be digitized, accessed,
searched, processed, produced, repurposed,
or analyzed in digital form.
Digital Art History:
What aspects of art historical material can be
made computationally tractable?
Phase 1: Digitization
Analogue to digital (surrogates of analogue to
digital) = (re)mediation
Repositories, collections, metadata
(records as surrogates)
Search / use
Aggregation
Individual / Institutional projects

Phase 2: Data Creation
Measure
Mapping
Modeling
Data mining /analysis (texts and documents,
cultural record)
Image analysis (cultural analytics)
Documentary materials / text analysis / networks
