Lauren Tilton: Distant Viewing: AI In Theory and Practice

The Department of Digital Humanities and Social Studies would like to invite you to the following talk in our DH Colloquium:

Lauren Tilton: »Distant Viewing: AI In Theory and Practice«

Abstract

The talk will introduce the concept of distant viewing, a theory and method for computer vision. After discussing how computers “view”, we will turn to how the method works through case studies about visual culture. Putting theory and method into practice, participants will then be able to experiment with distant viewing through a hands-on workshop. No coding experience is required, and all materials and data are open access.
