From Virtual Reality to Artificial Intelligence, new technologies are proliferating that enable Art historians to interact with the past in new ways. The manipulation of photographs and the employment of photogrammetry have created new avenues for hypothetical reconstructions and enhancements. LiDAR scanning and architectural software programs offer opportunities for exploring extant structures and the recreation of demolished ones. Both approaches permit specialists, students, and the general public to navigate through spaces, visualize objects as they currently appear, and consider settings that have been reconfigured digitally as a result of traditional research tools – often in ways impossible to accomplish otherwise and with greater accessibility. Scholars of Italian Renaissance Art have been particularly responsive, and this session investigates how new technologies help change our understanding of this art and its experience. As opposed to traditional documentary panels dedicated to the discussion of amassing collections of images for review, this session explores the next steps of using emerging technologies to further our intellectual discourse about art historical analysis. How can these tools help us in our scholarship and teaching as we evaluate the past? What challenges must be addressed by the digital art historian? Are there methodological questions that distinguish this approach to image analysis from those that have come before it? This session focuses on the arts of Italy (ca.1300-1600) and considers how new technologies reveal alternative insights into objects, spaces, and the original experiences of users.
