Applications are now being accepted for the 2015 Visualizing Venice Workshop. In this ten-day workshop, participants engage with historical and cultural visualization technologies as they explore topics in art history, architecture, urban history, and new media studies related to Venice. The workshop will take place from June 1-12, 2015, at Venice International University in Venice, Italy.

This year’s theme, "The Biennale and the City,” will focus on the history of the Venice Biennale from several perspectives and scales of reference: as a case study in architectural history in the Giardini and the Arsenale; as a set of exhibitions undertaken both on those sites and in more ephemeral sites around the city; as an aggregation of artistic forces hailing from around the world; and as a phenomenon with a profound impact upon the life and culture of the city of Venice itself.

Scholars from Duke University and Università Iuav di Venezia will teach participants in a format that combines content on the Biennale with digital skills for digital mapping, 3D modeling, mobile application development, and time based media authorship, enabling participants to engage historical questions with emerging digital tools.

This workshop is designed for participants at the Ph.D or post-doctoral level.

Application deadline: April 15, 2015.
