Research stay

Nuria Rodríguez Ortega, one of the main researchers of Complexhibit, collaborated with the Digital Visual Studies Center of the University of Zurich. There she had the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of multimodal AI models that could be applied to the Swiss project, exploring the potential of generative curatorships for the visualisation and presentation of analytical results.

Digital Visual Studies is a cooperative project funded by the Max Planck Society and organised by the University of Zurich, which will start in January 2020. The aim of the project is to establish Digital Visual Studies as a way to expand Art History into the Digital Humanities, to modernise methodologies and to contribute to the training of the first generation of Digital Visual Humanists. The project, led by an Executive Committee, includes six Predoctoral Fellows and several Postdoctoral and Visiting Fellows, who will work in the areas of visual, textual and spatio-temporal research. In addition, the Digital Assistant Professor for Visual Studies project, co-funded for six years.

Digital for Visual Studies is closely connected to a national and international network of digital institutions and initiatives, such as the Digital Society Initiative of the UZH; Villa I Tatti, Centre for Italian Renaissance Studies at Harvard University, Florence; Swiss Art Research Infrastructure SARI, University of Zurich/ETH Zurich/SIK-ISEA and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science MPIWG, Berlin.

This cooperation project aims to generate cutting-edge research and methodological, technical and intellectual innovation.
