The Arts and Cultural Data
This seminar explores the challenges and applications of this field for the study of the arts and cultural data. It is part of the European ERC project From Stage to Data, led by Clarisse Bardiot, and brings together two rapidly developing fields: digital art history and culture analytics.
The Arts and Digital Humanities seminar has three objectives: to explore the foundations of the digital humanities and their applications to the arts, particularly the performing arts; to analyze the scientific and ethical challenges of using digital data in research; and to introduce participants to the latest work in the field through presentations by recognized researchers. The program brings together specialists in the digital arts and humanities with historians, philosophers and researchers in the humanities whose work directly informs our discussions. Each year, an artist is also invited to present a practice related to digital technology.
The seminar is aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as artists and cultural professionals. No previous experience in data analysis is required. The sessions, which last two hours and are sometimes held in English, take place both in person and online (via Zoom). The presentation (lasting approximately one hour) is followed by a discussion and then a social gathering.
The sessions will be recorded and made available on the From Stage to Data website and YouTube channel: https://stage-to-data.huma-num.fr
