For the 2025-26 Frank Davis Memorial Lecture series, scholars will present forthcoming research in light of our evolving relationship to digital technologies.
Well over half a century of increasingly powerful computers and machine-generated information has fundamentally transformed our culture’s understanding of the relationship between technological tools and thought. In many ways cultural scholars have adapted to this shifting landscape, adopting methods and models informed by the digital turn. How, though, have the Digital Age and the developing fields of Digital Humanities and Digital Art History shifted how we theorise and think about the past? The Courtauld invites a group of distinguished scholars to engage with the theme of Art History X Computer Vision by sharing current research and reflecting on the ways that the pervasiveness of digital technologies and methods has changed their perspective on their subject matter.
