Speaker:
Prof. Chen Jing陈静
Associate Professor
School of Arts, Nanjing University

About the talk:
This lecture aims to re-examine the concept of ‘heritage’ from the perspective of digital humanities. The speaker will present several digital humanities projects conducted by their team over the past few years as case studies. These projects include cross-disciplinary research on Chinese traditional color, image analysis of artificial objects using computer vision algorithms, and digital curation based on metadata. Through these examples, the lecture will illustrate how digital technology, from digitization to visual knowledge production (referred to as ‘graphesis’ by Johanna Drucker), has reshaped our understanding and epistemology of heritage.
