Visualizing Complexities. Practices and Heuristics of Digital Models in Art History

A cura di Nicola Camerlenghi, Tanja Michalsky & Elisabetta Scirocco
ISBN: 978-3-949381-01-0 DOI: https://doi.org/10.48431/hsah.02

Digital models help to visualize complexities heretofore unapproachable through more conventional methods of art history. The seductive qualities of these models—which tend to transcend those of words—are increasingly untempered by their digital and thus potentially alien nature. Modeling technologies—including, but not limited to, GIS, photogrammetry, laser scanning, VR, AR, or BIM—can assist not only in visualizing, but also in measuring, reconstructing and, thus, analyzing works of art and architecture. With the use of these tools come both challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, the interdisciplinarity of digital approaches invites diverse conventions, and as the media used for digital visualizations are adopted across disciplines and their hermeneutics contested, the resulting epistemes are naturally hybrid. The authors of this volume present and discuss their ongoing projects in art and architectural history involving 3D-modeling. The aim of this collection, stemming from a workshop held in December 2020 at the Bibliotheca Hertziana, is to pose some of the most pressing questions about the process of visualizing artistic complexities.

Walking through history. An Interdisciplinary Approach to Flavio Biondo’s Spaces in the "Italia Illustrata“ 

A cura di Tanja Michalsky & Martin Thiering
ISBN: 978-3-7774-4069-9 DOI: 10.48431/hsah.0100

Questo volume presenta i risultati di una ricerca in corso sull'uso dei metodi dell’umanistica digitale per analizzare i contenuti spaziali nei testi e nelle mappe del Rinascimento, concentrandosi in particolare sull'Italia illustrata di Flavio Biondo. Gli autori utilizzano l’analisi computazionale e basata sui corpus di testi e mappe, nonché l’antropologia cognitiva e la teoria della Gestalt, per identificare e visualizzare concetti spaziali codificati in mappe e testi storici. Lo scopo è quello di scoprire fonti e fornire una mappa cognitiva per i lettori, codificando le informazioni in modo da aiutarli a comprendere le informazioni spaziali. I testi discutono anche della pluralità degli spazi e del cambiamento delle prospettive dei concetti spaziali nel tempo, in particolare dal Rinascimento all'era digitale.
