Distant Viewing: AI and Ways of Seeing
How do computers “view” images? How can areas like media and visual culture studies inform our understanding of computer vision? How can viewing with computers inform our understanding of the past? The talk will introduce the concept and method of distant viewing drawing on her new open access book co-authored with data scientist Taylor Arnold titled Distant Viewing (MIT Press). Then, she will turn to examples from visual culture to demonstrate how AI is animating humanistic inquiry. The talk will end with a reflection, and perhaps provocation, on how digital humanities, data science, and the larger field of AI could reshape the world together.
