Art History 190FS: Splendor of the City: The Art and Architecture of Renaissance Venice
Undergraduate Course, Freshman Focus
Instructor: Kristin Huffman Lanzoni
Residents of Venice, both individually and collectively, fashioned an image of the city as unprecedented and exceptional, accomplishing this in great part through art and architecture. Venice was indeed unique— a city built on water after all— and sponsors commissioned monuments as a way to promote the city as unparalleled in beauty, splendor, and glory. Students will use digital tools, such as Omeka/Neatline, to map artistic connections across the urban landscape of Venice and its territories during Renaissance. By considering a range of artistic patronage, a wide spectrum of art commissions, and a number of the most famous artists, this course will offer a broad picture of this thriving period of Venetian art and society.
CLST 252S: Reconstructing Ancient Worlds
Undergraduate Course
Instructor: Mauizio Forte
What did the Parthenon look like in the 5th century BCE? How spectacular was the view of the Giza Pyramids in third millennium BCE Egypt? The extraordinary growth of information and digital technologies in archaeology raises new questions about research methodology, knowledge and the dissemination of culture. In particular, the technologies of 3D data recording and representation such as computer vision, photogrammetry, and 3D laser scanning create information that has a complexity unimaginable a few years ago and whose codes of representation still must be defined and investigated. We do not adequately understand the cognitive processes that connect the geometric complexity of models with their representation. The key element on which we construct our codes, our maps, is the perception which first selects what is high-priority information and then transforms it into knowledge. The course aims explores these multidisciplinary issues, methods and technologies in the field of virtual and cyber archaeology and, more specifically, it is focused on the reconstruction and communication of the past through virtual reality and computer graphics.
ISIS 208: Virtual Form and Space
Undergraduate Course
Instructor: Nicola Lercari
Digital technologies, interactive media, and virtual environments are radically changing the cultural landscape of today’s societies. New forms of digital arts and cultures are the outcome of this change. In this studio course, students will explore both theoretical and practical approaches to digital arts and communication, by analyzing the relationship between virtuality and spatiality and by developing trans-disciplinary projects. In the seminar component students will focus on the artistic, socio-cultural, and technological dimensions of virtual worlds through interactive lectures and presentations. During the lab section students will engage in a number of hands-on activities on 3D modeling, mapping, avatar-based interaction design, and virtual environments creation. A fundamental part of Virtual Form and Space will be realized in OpenSimulator using the ISIS Sandbox virtual world.
CLST 724S: Roman Frontiers
Graduate Course
Instructor: Tolly Boatwright
This advanced graduate seminar explores life along the geographical peripheries of the Roman Empire, as well as the very concepts of Roman frontiers. We turn to archaeological, epigraphic, literary, numismatic, papyrological, and whatever other evidence we can find. Our goal is not simply to investigate diverse specific communities, cultures, or archaeological phenomena; we will also read and evaluate secondary scholarship, some using more theoretical approaches. This comparative, analytical work should enable us to see Roman data and concepts with fresh eyes.
VMS 338: Paris: A City and Its Culture 1850-1930
Undergraduate Course
Instructor: Neil McWilliam
This class looks at Paris as an urban space and as an artistic center. It explores the city as a physical environment that has to be understood in terms of varied populations, economic activities, and cultural representations. Viewing Paris as a subject for art as well as a major center for training and exhibition, the class will include a research project that uses new technologies to map the growth and development of artistic activity in the city.
VMS 551SL: Opening Archives: Materiality, Digitality, and Lives of Things
Graduate Course
Instructor: Mark Olson
Tuesdays, 6-9pm
Wired Lab / National Humanities Center
A renewed interest in materiality and “things” in contemporary humanistic discourse coincides with the growth of computer-based scholarly practices organized under the “big tent” of digital humanities. This course aims to explore the intersection of materiality and digitality in the humanities through a sustained practice of “critical making,” that is, hands-on exploration of new methods of mapping, modeling and visualizing historical material culture undertaken alongside critical contextualizations of these practices. Technologies include 3D modeling and acquisition, geospatial mapping, interactive game platforms, desktop fabrication, and gesture-based interfaces. No previous technical experience is required; a willingness to learn, however, is essential.

AMST 850: Digital Humanities Practicum
Graduate Course
Instructor: Bobby Allen
Tuesdays, 6-8:50pm
TBD / National Humanities Center
This practicum blends traditional graduate seminar discussions with hands-on training and experience in the digital humanities. Students will work alongside DH practitioners in the Digital Innovation Lab, contributing to real-life projects that emphasize trans-domain, collaborative work. DIL projects share a commitment to engaged scholarship, representing partnerships with local communities. The practicum gives students the opportunity to pursue a set of professional development goals for themselves. Students will emerge from this practicum with a deeper understanding of digital humanities approaches, practices and issues, all of which will have be applied to their own project-based work and training.
Enrollment for this course is limited and is by permission of instructor. Please email Professor Allen with a statement of interest. Enrollment is open to MA and PHD students at UNC and (via interinstitutional registration) to graduate students at Duke, and NCSU. Disciplinary diversity is valued.
