*The Art of Seeing in the Digital Age: Aesthetics at the Intersection of
Art and Science*
Emily L. Spratt (https://sites.google.com/site/digitalhumanitiessurvey/home),
Director and Co-Founder of the Program in Art and Artificial Intelligence
and Visiting Lecturer, Department of Art History, Rutgers University
*Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 4 p.m. in the Music Room of The Frick Collection,
1 East 70th, New York, New York*
This presentation will explore the use of vision technology for the
analysis of art and its philosophical implications for both aesthetic
theory and artificial intelligence. Now that computers have the capacity to
see at an intelligent level, we as a society are faced with the ethical
responsibility of directing the machine’s gaze and telling it how to
interpret its visual input. Utilizing old and new methodologies in the
history of art, philosophy, and neuroscience that challenge the basis of
our understanding of human visual perception itself, it will be
demonstrated that the art of seeing in the digital age has everything to do
with the historical underpinnings of the fundamental ties between the arts
and sciences.
