British Art and Architecture in the Digital Age
- Region: South West
- Type: Symposium
- Cost: Free
This year’s Summer Symposium from the Paul Mellon Centre’s Early Careers Researchers’ Network and Doctoral Researchers’ Network brings together emerging scholars and practitioners to explore how digital technologies are reshaping the landscape of British art and architectural history.
Hosted at the University of Bristol, the symposium will feature a diverse range of papers that interrogate the intersections of digital innovation, cultural heritage and critical theory. From AI-generated aesthetics to decolonial data practices, we seek to highlight and engage with work that redefines how we create, interpret and engage with British art in the digital era.
This symposium seeks to raise urgent questions, including:
- How do digital tools complicate our understanding of “Britishness” in art and architecture?
- What biases are embedded in the technologies we use to preserve and present cultural heritage?
- How can we engage in decolonial and anti-racist approaches to digital practice?
This in-person symposium invites scholars, artists, curators and technologists to reflect on or reimagine the digital present, a digitised past and new digital futures for British art history.
