UBCO Hosts Digital Art History Keynote Lecture & Workshop
LECTURE
Stephen Whiteman - Beyond the Perspectival Paradigm: Digital Challenges to Art History
UBCO presents Stephen Whiteman, senior lecturer in the Art and Architecture of China at The Courtauld Institute of Art, who will give a virtual talk on the combination of formal and comparative analysis and digital tools to explore the mathematical and technical means by which perspective was adapted and incorporated outside Europe. By countering Eurocentric assumptions, Whiteman suggests ways in which digital tools both allow and compel re-examination of core art historical questions and cultural assumptions, advancing decentered understandings of the past and present.
Date: Tuesday, October 20th
Time: 11:00 to 12:30 p.m.
WORKSHOP
Stephen Whiteman - Generative Landscapes: Sources, Stratigraphy, and Close Reading in Early Modern China and Beyond
This online workshop will explore objects of historical enquiry, landscapes and the environment through the lens of one particular eighteenth-century imperial estate, focusing on digital mapping as a medium for engaging disparate sources in reconstructing design and use of the site. Seeking to extend the idea of object-centered research to spatial analysis, the workshop invites discussion of how landscapes may be engaged to generate their own stories, and how this, in turn, may aid in countering dominant narratives in our studies of art and architecture.
Date: Thursday, October 22nd
Time: 11:00 to 12:30 p.m.
Both the lecture and workshop are free and open to the public.
