Digital image manipulation, social network analysis and data mining can change our perceptions of the world around us, but they also require careful, critical use.
This presentation will take arts & humanities practitioners through the choices we need to make when we consider digital methods and tackle some of the critical issues for digital arts & humanities practitioners. We’ll also provide a clear list of IU resources that can support efforts in mapping, data mining, network analysis, data visualization, 3D rendering, computationally aided vision and other digital methods in a variety of disciplines. Finally, we’ll all engage in a practical white-board-based activity that doesn’t require digital tools to demonstrate how analog methods can enhance understanding of some of these digital-methods applications in a variety of environments (including the classroom).
