Duke MA in Digital Art History/Computational Media
by Hannah Jacobs 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. ***Please share. Apologies for cross-posting.*** The Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies at Duke University, in connection with the Information Science + Studies Program<https://iss.duke.edu/> and the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture<https://dukewired.org/>, offers an 18-month Master of Arts in Digital Art History/Computational Media<https://gradschool.duke.edu/academics/programs-degrees/digital-art-historyc…>. The Computational Media track<https://aahvs.duke.edu/ma-computational-media> is designed for graduate students focused on the study, creation, and use of digital media and computation in the arts and humanities. Computational Media explores research and presentation strategies enabled by the information sciences, new approaches to computational processes, and new forms of interpreting quantitative and qualitative data. The goals of the program are for students to understand the critical affordances and potential of digital media, to develop competencies in data-driven and computational approaches to knowledge production, and to develop a hybrid theory-practice MA thesis that demonstrates their expertise in action around a particular subject. The program’s skills-centered instruction, combined with the requirement for lab affiliation and collaborative research and the emphasis on theoretical analysis, will produce graduates who not only have hands-on know-how and technical skills but who have developed a sophisticated understanding of informational globalization and our rapidly changing world. The Digital Art History track<https://aahvs.duke.edu/graduate/MA-historical-cultural-visualization> integrates historical disciplines and the study of cultural artifacts with digital visualization techniques for the analysis and presentation of research. The program builds on courses and well-developed strengths at Duke University, and requires 10 courses over three semesters in addition to summer research. Students affiliate with an existing faculty research initiative, from which they will develop their own independent research project for the M.A. thesis. Common themes that unite the various projects are the visualization of process, the representation of change over time, recontextualizing displaced objects and object biographies. The Digital Art History track prepares students for future work in such fields as public history, city planning and architectural design, cultural heritage, museum exhibition design and visualization-based journalism, and provides a springboard for more advanced study in art history, archaeology, architectural history and visual studies. Limited funding may become available in the form of grants and assistantships to students upon positive progress in the program. Send questions to dah_cm(a)duke.edu<mailto:dah_cm@duke.edu> & learn more on the Duke Graduate School website<https://gradschool.duke.edu/academics/programs-degrees/digital-art-historyc…>.

Webinar: “Geeking” and “Prototyping” the “New Normal”
by Natalia Grincheva 03 Oct '20

03 Oct '20

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. *** With apologies for x-posting*** You are welcome to attend the following webinar: “Geeking” and “Prototyping” the “New Normal” A/Professor Christina Dunbar-Hester and Professor Fred Turner Could we imagine and prototype human life in the post-pandemic world? Will geeks rule in the emerging social conditions of the new normal, or will they simply become extinct in the digital mainstreaming of daily life? The webinar will tackle the question of human typologies in new social formations and online networks. Register here: https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/research/digital-studio/programs/seminar-series… Date & time: October 8, 2020 Los Angeles (Pacific Daylight Time): 10:00 PM October 9, 2020 London (Greenwich Mean Time +2): 7:00 AM Melbourne (Australian Eastern Standard Time): 4:00 PM This webinar is a part of the series: Redefining Digital Keywords >From Digital Archaisms to (Post)Pandemic Neologisms (Digital Studio, the University of Melbourne) Register here: https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/research/digital-studio/programs/seminar-series Synopsis: In 2016 Benjamin Peters published his edited collection Digital Keywords<https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691167336/digital-keywords> (Princeton University Press). With provocative short essays from international digital media scholars in anthropology, history, political science, philosophy, religious studies, rhetoric, science and technology studies, and sociology, the book explored and critiqued the rich vocabulary of the growing field of digital humanities on 25 keywords, ranging from meme to surrogate, from forum to mirror, from cloud to digital. The pandemic outbreak has challenged and reconfigured human experience across physical, social and digital realities, and hence urges us to revisit our digital keywords vocabulary. This global webinar series will bring together leading digital humanities scholars to reflect upon their original contributions to the Digital Keywords. Each webinar will focus on two digital phenomena and their corresponding keywords to explore how their meanings are changing in the face of disruptions caused by lockdowns or social distancing, and what new cultural practices, social challenges and political implications emerge around the new digital vocabulary. Series curated by Dr Natalia Grincheva (Digital Studio Senior Research Fellow). Schedule October 23: “Sharing” and “Gaming” in the Post-pandemic World Dr. Nicholas A. John and Professor Saugata Bhaduri How do we share online versus offline and what games can we play when limited within digital reality? What are the consequences on our health and well-being of non-stop digital sharing of our lives and emotions? And is it possible to transfer sport matches, games, and even such world sport mega-events as the Olympics into the digital world? The webinar will aim to answer these questions in conversation with Dr Nicholas A. John and Professor Saugata Bhaduri. November 6: “Zooming” In and Out to Examine the “Virus” Professor Jodie McVernon and Professor Sean Cubitt What new meanings of words such as zoom and virus did the Convid-19 outbreak instigate? How did we move from ‘Google it’ to ‘Let’s Zoom’, and what are the economic and political implications of platform-imperialism in the time of the 24/7 digital communication? What are the real and potential powers of online and biological viruses to disrupt, challenge, improve or destroy human life? The final webinar will facilitate a cross-disciplinary conversation between researchers at the University of Melbourne to share insights on the role of digital technologies in the current pandemic with its consequences for moral, social and physical being.
