The 2023-2024 Artl@s Lectures, under the theme "Narrowing the Divide: A Dialogue between Art History and Digital Art History", promoted the dialogue between traditional and digital art history. Digital Art History was consolidating as an autonomous discipline, but faced challenges due to a lack of integration with traditional analysis. The event facilitated meetings between experts from both fields to foster collaborations and mutual understanding. Art historians posed questions and corpus to specialists in digital methods, who presented their findings, highlighting the importance of combining approaches. These sessions offered PhD students opportunities to explore new topics and advances in both disciplines. Among them, Nuria Rodríguez Ortega intervened with "Exhibition Studies and Digital Approaches", where she addressed the convergence between computational languages, digital media and artistic culture, focusing on data analysis to study complex cultural systems and natural language processing for artistic texts. He explored visual-formal creation through computer vision and narratives with reality technologies. In addition, he researched how artificial intelligence reformulates the categorisation of cultural objects and has published on criticism and post-museology in digital culture.
