Hi all,

I’ll be hosting a session on digital visualization tools for art history. Currently I’m working on a project that documents Romanesque monuments in Northern Spain through three-dimensional modeling (photogrammetry) and ultra-high resolution panoramic photography (gigapan technology), see: www.romanesquespain.com/. My interests lie in making these monuments accessible off-site and encouraging new ways of looking. This type of project offers the ability to make comparisons across sites, without the author-bias implicit in an article’s selection of photographs. However, I’d love to get more feedback on whether these or other new technologies allow us to further expand our way of looking. How else might these media be used to improve and develop our scholarship and teaching? What other tools/technologies are people using to visualize monuments (sculpture, architecture, objects…)? Please let me know how this session can be useful to you and what questions/ideas you have!

I’d also be happy to lead a workshop on 3D modeling of art objects, if there is interest.
