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 Publication formats
