Visualizing Venice Workshop receives funding from The Getty

March 17, 2016

The Visualizing Venice workshop, an annual digital art history training opportunity for graduate students and early career scholars held at Venice International University, has been granted $140,000 by The Getty Foundation to support the 2016 summer institute. The Getty’s generous support enables the workshop to offer participants scholarship for tuition, travel, and accommodation.

The 2016 workshop will introduce a range of digital skills in mapping, 3D modeling, mobile application development, web technologies, and time based media authorship to enable participants to engage historical questions with emerging digital tools. The technologies are taught through the use of a theme, which for the summer of 2016 is “The Ghetto of Venice”. During the first week of the course participants will learn techniques for digital production by drawing upon existing research materials. Each day, participants will learn about a different type of digital media production within the context of how that type of reconstruction is typically used in digital art and architectural history. During the second week, the participants will work collaboratively to create projects using the tools they have learned, with the goal of creating high-quality, public-facing research products suitable for a general audience, as well as identifying potential areas to explore in their own future research.
