International Journal for Digital Art History: Issue 3, 2018
Art History is centrally concerned with a vast array of three-dimensional objects, such as sculptures, and spaces, such as architecture. Digital technologies allow the creation of virtual spaces, which in turn allow us to simulate and compare aspects of a visual culture's three-dimensional timespace that cannot be communicated as a single, still image. The third issue, thus, focusses on the third dimension in Art History, and the digital realm that continues to mediate and transform it.
The Routledge Companion to Digital Humanities and Art History
The Routledge Companion to Digital Humanities and Art History offers a broad survey of cutting-edge intersections between digital technologies and the study of art history, museum practices, and cultural heritage. The volume focuses not only on new computational tools that have been developed for the study of artworks and their histories but also debates the disciplinary opportunities and challenges that have emerged in response to the use of digital resources and methodologies. Chapters cover a wide range of technical and conceptual themes that define the current state of the field and outline strategies for future development. This book offers a timely perspective on trans-disciplinary developments that are reshaping art historical research, conservation, and teaching. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, historical theory, method and historiography, and research methods in education.
Art Markets and Digital Histories
This Special Issue of Arts investigates the use of digital methods in the study of art markets and their histories. As historical and contemporary data is rapidly becoming more available, and digital technologies are becoming integral to research in the humanities and social sciences, we sought to bring together contributions that reflect on the different strategies that art market scholars employ to navigate and negotiate digital techniques and resources. The essays in this issue cover a wide range of topics and research questions. Taken together, the essays offer a reflection on what takes to research art markets, which includes addressing difficult topics such as the nature of the research questions and the data available to us, and the conceptual aspects of art markets, in order to define and operationalize variables and to interpret visual and statistical patterns for scholarship. In our view, this discussion is enriched when also taking into account how to use shared or interoperable ontologies and vocabularies to define concepts and relationships that facilitate the use and exchange of linked (open) data for cultural heritage and historical research.
Object Links
Welche Aufschlüsse ermöglichen Forschungen, die die Verbindungen zwischen Objekten sowie zwischen Objekten und Menschen in den Blick nehmen? Antworten auf diese Frage bietet Band 1 der Reihe "Formate – Forschungen zur Materiellen Kultur". In sieben Einzelstudien untersuchen die Teammitglieder am Institut für Realienkunde aus den Fachbereichen Archäologie, Germanistik, Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte Arten und Qualitäten der Bindungen zwischen Menschen und Objekten, aber auch zwischen Objekten untereinander in spezifischen "Objektgesellschaften" in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Gemeinsam zeigen die Beiträge, dass die Charakteristika der Verbindungen in den verschiedenen Objektgesellschaften zwar vielfältig sind, ihre eingehende Analyse aber einen fruchtbaren interdisziplinären Ansatz zur Beschreibung materieller Kulturen darstellt. Das Buch versteht sich somit als methodisch-konzeptioneller Beitrag zum Object Turn in den Kulturwissenschaften.
Objekte im Netz
Die digitale Dokumentation von Objekten und ihre virtuelle Verfügbarkeit bieten enorme Chancen für Forschung, Vermittlung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit. Sie stellen Museen und Universitäten aber auch vor etliche Fragen und Herausforderungen: Mit welchen Zielen und Werkzeugen digitalisieren wir unsere Bestände? Welche Zugänge zu ihnen wollen wir gestatten? In welchem Verhältnis stehen analoge und digitale Objekte? Der Band versammelt Positionen aus Theorie und Praxis, die sich mit der Digitalisierung und Digitalität wissenschaftlicher Sammlungen beschäftigen. Die Beiträger*innen geben Einblicke in aktuelle Ansätze, beleuchten künftige Perspektiven und fragen nach den Folgen einer digitalen Sammlungspraxis.
Globalität sehen
Weltraumfotografien, CO2-Infografiken und Weltkarten – sie veranschaulichen nicht einfach nur Daten, Fakten und Zusammenhänge, sondern erzeugen spezifische Vorstellungen über eine allen Menschen gemeinsame Welt. Wie sie dies leisten, welche Vorstellungen der Welt das im Einzelnen sind und was sich aus jenen visuellen Darstellungsmedien über Konzepte der Globalität und die Struktur der Weltgesellschaft lernen lässt, erforscht Sebastian W. Hoggenmüller mittels einer neu entwickelten Methode zur interpretativen Bildanalyse. Sein Buch eröffnet Wege, Dinge zu sehen, die dem Alltagsblick verborgen bleiben. Und es erschließt ein Thema, das bislang noch nicht systematisch bearbeitet wurde: die visuelle Konstruktion von Globalität. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.de
Art Theory as Visual Epistemology
How can we “know”? What does “knowledge” mean? These were the fundamental questions of epistemology in the 17th century. In response to continental rationalism, the British empiricist John Locke proposed that the only knowledge humans can have is acquired a posterior. In a discussion of the human mind, he argued, the source of knowledge is sensual experience – mostly vision. Since vision and picture-making are the realm of art, art theory picked up on questions such as: are pictures able to represent knowledge about the world? How does the production of images itself generate knowledge? How does pictorial logic differ from linguistic logic? How can artists contribute to a collectiv...
A Worldly Art
Newly independent in 1585, the increasingly prosperous and politically powerful Dutch Republic experienced a tremendous rise in the production of artwork that was unparalleled in quantity, variety, and beauty. Now back in print, this classic book (originally published in 1996) examines the country's rich artistic culture in the seventeenth century, providing a full account of Dutch artists and patrons; artistic themes and techniques; and the political and social world in which artists worked. Distinguished art historian Mariët Westermann examines the ?worldly art” of this time in the context of the unique society that produced it, analyzing artists' choices and demonstrating how their pictures tell particular stories about the Dutch Republic, its people, and its past. More than 100 color illustrations complement this engaging discussion of an extraordinary moment in the history of art.
Digital Art History
This book looks at the transformation that Art and Art history is undergoing through engagement with the digital revolution. Since its initiation in 1985, CHArt (Computers and the History of Art) has set out to promote interaction between the rapidly developing new Information Technology and the study and practice of Art. It has become increasingly clear in recent years that this interaction has led, not just to the provision of new tools for the carrying out of existing practices, but to the evolution of unprecedented activities and modes of thought. This collection of papers represents the variety, innovation and richness of significant presentations made at the CHArt Conferences of 2001 a...
Museum Practice
MUSEUM PR ACTICE Edited by CONAL MCCARTHY Museum Practice covers the professional work carried out in museums and art galleries of all types, including the core functions of management, collections, exhibitions, and programs. Some forms of museum practice are familiar to visitors, yet within these diverse and complex institutions many practices are hidden from view, such as creating marketing campaigns, curating and designing exhibitions, developing fundraising and sponsorship plans, crafting mission statements, handling repatriation claims, dealing with digital media, and more. Focused on what actually occurs in everyday museum work, this volume offers contributions from experienced professionals and academics that cover a wide range of subjects including policy frameworks, ethical guidelines, approaches to conservation, collection care and management, exhibition development and public programs. From internal processes such as leadership, governance and strategic planning, to public facing roles in interpretation, visitor research and community engagement and learning, each essential component of contemporary museum practice is thoroughly discussed.
