Symposium TiCC : Computers and Art
Computer recognition and analysis of images is steadily improving.
To what extent can computers support art historians in their visual
examination of paintings?
The symposium Computers and Art addresses this question by presenting an
overview of art historian research and demonstrates the possibilities and
limitations of computer-based analysis techniques.
The symposium features views from both the Humanities and the Sciences
by means of contributions from researchers from the Rembrandt Research
Project, Van Gogh Museum, Princeton University, the Japan Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), and the Tilburg centre
for Creative Computing (TiCC).
