NYC Digital Art History

Public Group active 3 months, 1 week ago

Mission:
The New York City Digital Art History (NYC-DAH) group brings together local institutions and individuals with an interest in the practice of digital art history. The NYC-DAH is an opportunity for art historians, artists, curators, conservators, students, and members of the GLAM community (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) to meet each other and share knowledge, projects, and initiate collaboration.

The immediate goal of the group is community building. Through the NYC-DH website and community activities, the group aims to connect key institutions and individuals, and build a dynamic network of digital art historians, designers and engineers.

Our first workshop took place on February 11, 2016 at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Join the NYC DAH group to get updates on the group’s activity and upcoming events.

NYC-DAH Steering Group:
Chair: Jason Varone, The Institute of Fine Arts, NYU

      “The Art of Seeing in the Digital Age: Aesthetics at the Intersection of Art and Science”
      Emily L. Spratt, PhD Candidate, Princeton University
      The Frick Collection, 1 East 70th Street, New York, New York
      Tuesday, May 10, 2016, 4 – 5 p.m.

      This presentation will explore the use of vision technology for the analysis of art and its philosophical implications for both aesthetic theory and artificial intelligence. Now that computers have the power to see at an intelligent level, it will be argued that we as a society are faced with the ethical responsibility of directing the machine’s gaze and telling it how to interpret its visual input. Utilizing old and new methodologies in the history of art, philosophy, and neuroscience that challenge the basis of our understanding of human visual perception itself, the art of seeing in the digital age is in fact dependent on the historical underpinnings of the fundamental ties between the arts and sciences.

      The lecture is free and open to the general public. For questions, please contact: dahlprograms@frick.org
