Power invites contributions to a new survey on Digital Art History as part of a panel being presented at the 36th CIHA World Congress in Lyon on 'The Research Institute in the Metaverse'
Power is pleased to invite contributions to our current survey on Digital Art History. This survey will form part of the discussion at our upcoming CIHA panel, moderated by Mark Ledbury and Marni Williams. The survey will also remain open for several months and will then form the basis for a report that will be published on our website later in 2024. The aim of the survey is to understand the role and status of the digital humanities (including methods, tools, platforms and publishing) both within art history research institutes and for individuals engaging with the digital humanities outside of research institutes. We would love to hear from a range of people including art history researchers, curators, archivists and librarians working with art collections and other people engaged in research and publishing on art and visual culture. You can access the survey here, we estimate it should take between 5 and 15 minutes to complete.
The upcoming CIHA panel is part of the 36th CIHA World Congress in Lyon. The panel is exploring art history and research in the digital world.
The Research Institute in the Metaverse: Supporting, Connecting and Challenging Art Histories in the Age of Digital Transformation
In the research ecosystem of the near future, when scanned objects and digitised archives begin to move more freely beyond the bounds of physical collections, our materials of study appear via generous repositories in pixels and datasets, and communication is directed towards search engines rather than libraries, what will a research institute be? How will they help researchers who are expanding visual understanding in the digital landscape? Or partner across institutions to build new infrastructure?
This panel draws on expertise from within the institutions of RIHA, presenting survey results alongside short presentations of projects that explore this series of questions.
