Hi all,
Our next Research IT Reading Group <https://wikihub.berkeley.edu/display/istrit/Research+IT+Reading+Group> topic will be: Digital Art History, Th 24 September / noon / 200C Warren Hall. When: Thursday, September 24th from noon - 1pm Where: 200C Warren Hall, 2195 Hearst St (see building access instructions below). Event format: The reading group is a brown bag lunch (bring your own) with a short <20 min talk followed by ~40 min group discussion. Presenter: Elizabeth Honig, Associate Professor, History of Art Elizabeth Honig will discuss how digital tools are changing the study of art history and offering new opportunities for collaboration. She will discuss two of her current projects: - developing an open source platform for creating catalogues raisonnes (resources that meticulously detail the oeuvre of a particular artist and provide evidence of the provenance and attribution of the artist’s works) and distributing it as a Drupal module (funded by the Digital Humanities at Berkeley program, a partnership between Research IT and the Dean of Arts and Humanities). - collaborating with Eric E. Monson,of Duke University’s Visualization & Interactive Systems Group on NSF-funded research in computer vision and machine learning *Please review the following prior to our 9/24 meeting:* - Art History and Access: The catalogue raisonné as Collaborative Research Site - nanocrit.com <http://www.nanocrit.com/issues/5/art-history-and-access-catalogue-raisonne-collaborative-research-site> - Developing an Open Catalogue Raisonné Platform <http://digitalhumanities.berkeley.edu/blog/15/06/10/developing-open-catalogue-raisonn%C3%A9-platform> - Math and Art History find common ground in dictionary learning <http://digitalhumanities.berkeley.edu/blog/15/06/04/math-and-art-history-find-common-ground-dictionary-learning> === *Research IT Town Hall | Th 9/24 | 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM* Campus faculty and researchers are invited to a Research IT <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/> Town Hall on Thursday, September 24th to find out more about several campus services available to the UC Berkeley research community: - Savio <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/services/high-performance-computing>, the campus’s new high performance computing facility, will soon offer expanded compute and storage capacity, and new compute models. Campus researchers can get free access to Savio with the Faculty Computing Allowance <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/services/high-performance-computing/faculty-computing-allowance>. - Cloud Computing Support <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/brc/cloud> offers free consulting and documentation to help researchers use computational resources, storage, and applications from commercial cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, and from national computational centers such as XSEDE. - Research Data Management <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/programs/research-data-management>, a partnership with The Library, provides consulting, training, and documentation pertinent to the lifecycle of activities around research data: from planning to collaboration, sharing, curation, preservation, discovery, and reuse. The Town Hall will be held on September 24, 2015, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am, in Banatao Auditorium in Sutardja Dai Hall. This event is sponsored by the Berkeley Research Computing <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/brc> program, a part of Research IT <http://research-it.berkeley.edu/>, in the Office of the CIO. === Warren Hall access: For those who do not have keycard access to the building, please take the elevator to the second floor (stairwell door requires keycard). Before noon, let the receptionist know you're joining the Reading Group in 200C and s/he will let you in and show you the way. After noon, look for a sign next to the (closed) receptionist window to the right as you exit the elevators. We'll post a note with a phone number that you can call or text, and someone will come out to open the locked doors.
