Greetings (with apologies for cross-posting),
I have been asked to create a short list of art historians who are very
"digitally engaged." Of course, one's first response is,
"Who isn't?"
But rather than think of this question as a simple query as to who uses
digital media in their teaching and research but continues to operate
within the existing left-right image comparison pedagogic paradigm . . .
Do you know of or work with art historians whose use of digital
media breaks -- or begins to fracture -- existing/traditional methods of
teaching or research in art history? I admit I have not been to a CAA
conference in years and feel a bit out of the loop. I suspect there have
been some VRA, ARLIS, CAA papers that touch on this.
- Uses Google Earth and mapping systems, Second Life, or
some sort of metaverse to teach.
- Creates portals that allow students and faculty to share
image sets, notes, messaging, etc, in some sort of live laboratory space
that parallels the classroom experience.
- Etc. and so on . . .
Please provide a brief summary, post your responses directly to me, and I
will digest for the list(s).

Peter Blank
