Conceived in tandem with the Getty Research Institute’s gallery exhibition, Bauhaus Beginnings, this online exhibition offers an in-depth look into the school’s novel pedagogy. Highlighting student explorations, masters’ theories, and a variety of colorful media drawn from the Research Institute’s archives, the project includes three interactive exercises that invite viewers to immerse themselves in surprising aspects of Bauhaus curriculum. burckhardtsource.org http://burckhardtsource.org/ burckhardtsource.org is the semantic Digital Library developed by the European Research Advanced Grant Project EUROCORR (Grant Agreement n. 249483, June 2010–May 2015) and coordinated by Prof. Maurizio Ghelardi (Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore). The platform hosts the critical edition of the letters written to Jacob Burckhardt, reconstructing in open access one of the most important European correspondences of the 19th century. Save a few exceptions, these letters are all unpublished. On a later stage, the project aims to publish also Jacob Burckhardt’s letters. The editing process has been carried out using Muruca semantic digital library framework. The Muruca framework has been modified over the project, as the requirements of the philological researchers emerged more clearly. The results are stored in and accessible from the front-end of the platform. Digital Museum of Shadow http://shadow.caa.edu.cn/#/ Having established the first large-scale shadow art museum nationwide in 2003, Shadow Art Museum (incorporated into Folk Art Museum in 2015), China Academy of Art further made its effort on the internet promotion of Shadow Play and founded Digital Museum of Shadow in 2017. The Digital Museum of Shadow displays the shadow puppets and Shadow Play as cultural heritage of materials and performing arts under the help of digitalization of the management, collection and preservation. Combining the academic research with science popularization, Digital Museum of Shadow will gradually develop as a more mature platform for the regeneration, re-understanding, and development of traditional opera, in which way people from all over the world will feel and sense the vitally of the traditional culture of China. Facendo il Libro https://digitalcollections.nyam.org/digital/ “Facendo Il Libro: The Making of Fasciculus Medicinae, an Early Printed Anatomy” is an online exhibit focused on an influential medical book first published in Italy in 1491. Originally collected in manuscript form, the richly illustrated text is comprised of a number of medical treatises on uroscopy, phlebotomy, anatomy, surgery, and gynecology. The exhibit allows visitors to browse full-text scans of all five editions (1495–1522) in The New York Academy of Medicine’s collections; to explore each edition’s exquisitely illustrated woodcuts and to learn about their cultural and medical meanings; and to compare the books’ illustrations in different editions over time. Essays on the culture of printing in Venice, the workshops and printers who produced these popular editions, and the creation of the text and accompanying illustrations situate visitors in the print culture of early modern Italy and illuminate the moments of the books’ production. Fashion History Timeline https://fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/ The Fashion History Timeline is an open-access source for fashion history knowledge, featuring objects and artworks from over a hundred museums and libraries that span the globe. The Timeline website offers well-researched, accessibly written entries on specific artworks, garments and films for those interested in fashion and dress history. Started as a pilot project by FIT art history faculty and students in the Fall of 2015, the Timeline aims to be an important contribution to public knowledge of the history of fashion and to serve as a constantly growing and evolving resource not only for students and faculty, but also for the wider world of those interested in fashion and dress history (from the Renaissance scholar to the simply curious). OER Commons https://www.oercommons.org/ OER Commons forges alliances between trusted content providers and creative users and re-users of OER. In addition to content partnerships, OER Commons, and its creator, ISKME, builds strategic relationships with organizations, consortia, states, districts, and others, in order to develop innovation and new research focused on OER, to advance the field of open education, and to build models for its sustainability. The Pudding https://pudding.cool/ The Pudding explains ideas debated in culture with visual essays. By wielding original datasets, primary research, and interactivity, we try to thoroughly explore complex topics. Visual essays are an emerging form of journalism. Some of the most complex, debated topics get lost in “too long; didn’t read” 10,000-word articles. Visual storytelling makes ideas more accessible—or so goes the adage “a picture is worth a thousand words.” At The Pudding, our goal is to advance public discourse and avoid media echo chambers. We’re not chasing current events or clickbait. We choose topics where visuals both entertain and inform. This means that we invest in research and ignore news cycle noise. WikiArquitectura https://en.wikiarquitectura.com/ WikiArquitectura celebrates the most relevant architects and buildings from all times. We study, analyze and document them to create the largest online architecture encyclopedia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
