PODCAST: Amanda Wasielewski explores the convergence of art history and computer science, highlighting how machine learning can analyze art images and revive formalism. This interdisciplinary approach offers new perspectives on data politics, categorization, and the nuances lost in automation. How can such collaborations reshape our understanding of art in the digital age?

In my talk ‘Museum criticism for hackers’ at #38C3, I looked at the history of the online collection of the State Museums Berlin, talked about major turning points in digital collections and about a software called GOS developed by the museums in the 20th century.

The talk is an invitation to participate in the critical development, opening and reflection of digital collections, for example by supporting open knowledge networks such as #Wikidata

The talk was in German, but you can listen to the live translation to English and Portuguese. Links to all the versions, on the CCC server and on Youtube:

“The Computational Eye,” by Paul Guhennec and Ellen Charlesworth, deconstructs style in digital art history, emphasizing computational methods’ role in transforming art historical inquiry. The paper critiques biases in digital tools and datasets, calling for a “computational anthropology” of images to unpack underlying techno-social constructs.
