At the College Art Association, on February 13, 2020, our Getty-supported team, many of whom overlap with the instructional team for the VARDHI project, presented a panel on Advanced Topics in Digital Art History: 3D(Geo)Spatial Networks Institute. This included talks by participants focused on XR and Art and Architectural History in particular. The session was chaired by Victoria Szabo (Project Director) with respondent Edward Triplett (Instructor). Szabo also delivered a paper, “Visualizing Cities with Extended Reality: XR as a Critical and Creative Medium for Digital Cultural Heritage,” that directly addressed the VARDHI institute discussions. The presentation addressed the concept of augmenting the humanities in a broader sense, thinking about access and communication, as well as the technological affordances of the medium broadly conceived.
In addition, Augustus Wendell, who formally joined the Wired Lab team – and Duke – this past year, presented on his work on agent-based modeling within virtual environments with his collaborator Burcak Ozludil, on “Living Beings and Movement in Historical Space:Opportunities in Agent-based Modeling.”
