We will come back to this question again and again, but let's start by focusing on the ways in which works of digital scholarship deal with static visual material—with photographs and paintings and posters and charts and maps. We will sample the spectrum of practices, which includes curation, content analysis, feature extraction, and storytelling. And while we are at it, why not ground ourselves in one of the most iconic visualizations of all time (and a very modern project aimed at repairing and recreating it)?
This is a shared workspace for practitioners from all disciplines. We will meet each Thursday through the 2021–2022 academic year. You are welcome to join the studio community at any point.

You will receive additional information and a Zoom link.
