This conference cycle on Digital Art History, is designed as an introduction to the transformative impact of digital tools on research, preservation, and the study of art. Organized in conjunction with the opening of the DigiLab, the series explores how digital methodologies – from image databases and metadata annotation to 3D reconstructions and virtual reality – are reshaping the discipline. Through presentations by leading scholars and hands-on workshops, students will gain practical insights into open-access platforms, collaborative annotation, and the evolving role of technology in art historical practice. The program aims to offer the knowledge and skills to engage critically and creatively with the digital future of art history.
The launch of the DigiLab marks an opportunity to examine how digital tools are reshaping art historical research. This conference cycle presents a series of lectures and workshops focused on the practical applications of digital methodologies in the field. Speakers will address key projects, including the Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi’s digital annotation efforts, the use of 3D technologies for reconstruction, and the integration of open-access platforms like Wikidata. The program is designed to provide both theoretical insights and hands-on experience, offering participants a comprehensive overview of current developments in Digital Art History.
