- Learning to speak and write intelligently about digital art history, including current research and your own engagement with the field.
- Awareness of the potential opportunities, as well as biases and pitfalls, of working digitally.
- Basic understanding of a number of fundamental tools and methods that can be applied to the study of art and cultural heritage, including image vision/machine learning/AI and 3D capture of objects via photogrammetry.
- Insight into how digital tools can supplement traditional research methods and allow for different approaches and new questions about art and art history.
- Learn to evaluate digital art history research with a critical eye.
- Imagine new possibilities for art history.
Course content
The course includes a practical foray into the visualisation of the geographical movement and network of a historical actor of your choice. From here you will explore more advanced mapping tools and the concomitant ‘spatial turn’ in art history. You will furthermore be confronted with the possibilities offered by visual data analysis in regard to Technical Art History and 3D reconstructions. At the end of the course, you will propose how digital tools and methods could be applied in an art historical topic of your choice.
