Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational technologies have a wide-ranging impact on the development and study of art in contemporary culture. From applying machine learning to classifying huge datasets to using natural language processing in AI platforms for generating new visual imagery, research, and creation in the fields of art history and art have already changed.
This Special Issue of Arts will focus on the impact of these changes: how do we rethink our practices, definitions, and goals since the utilization of computation? Where has computation been the most helpful in our fields? Which tools, strategies, or processes are the most applicable or game-changing? Conversely, because art and art history are not inherently mathematical or algorithmic, what is art’s relationship to computation in our culture? How might art and art history critique and question the computational? Has thinking about computation shifted in the process of analyzing art?
Papers can be studies of tools and applications, assessments of the impact on the field, or theoretical papers addressing the relationship between art and computation. We welcome submissions from art historians, practicing artists and computer scientists.
