What can computers reveal about images that even the best-trained connoisseurs, art historians and artists cannot? How do these computer methods work? How much more powerful and revealing will these methods become? In short, how is computer image analysis changing our understanding of art? This profusely illustrated lecture for non-scientists will include works by Jackson Pollock, Vincent van Gogh, Jan van Eyck and others. You may never see paintings in the same way again.
Hosted by: Department of Mathematics, Krannert Art Museum
In conjunction with: Art History Program, Beckman Institute, Department of Computer Science, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, New Media Program, Program in Science and Technology Studies, Society for Art History and Archaeology
