The Intersection of Art and Data: The Art Datis Project and the Legacy of Sybren Valkema
The Art Datis project, launched in September 2018, was originally conceived as a four-year project involving two PhD candidates: an art historian and glass artist (Anna Carlgren) and a data scientist (Vera Provatorova). Their task was to examine Valkema's archive, which includes everything from personal letters and administrative documents to glass recipes and correspondence with other artists. This archive, covering the postwar period until Valkema's death in the 1990s, offers a comprehensive overview of his contributions to glass art.
Virtual Interiors as Interfaces for Big Historical Data Research
The Semantic Web needs interfaces for critical, reliable analyses of Big Data for research in humanities, cultural heritage, and creative industries. Utilizing data on the production and consumption of cultural goods, geodata, maps, and building plans from the Golden Age, the project 'Virtual Interiors' unlocks the research potential of large historical data in a geospatial context. The project is funded by NWO Smart Culture – Big Data/Digital Humanities.
Project update: Designing Rhythms for Social Resilience
Designing Rhythms for Social Resilience (DRSR) is an interesting research project, where data science and social science come together. The research explores rhythm as a new methodology for policymaking, with the goal of strengthening the sharing of culture for social resilience in neighborhoods. Together with residents, civil servants and creative industries, physical rhythms and data rhythms are analyzed in Amsterdam Southeast. We spoke with project leader prof. Caroline Nevejan and PhD candidate Pinar Sefkatli about the current state of events in this project.
Art DATIS: project update
Sybren Valkema was a prominent glass artist and teacher, born in 1916. Now, more than 100 years later, researchers working on the Art DATIS project aim to make his archives accessible to fellow researchers, artists and craftsmen. We sat down with Vera Provatorova (University of Amsterdam) and Carlotta Capurro (Utrecht University) for an update on this fascinating project.
