[MCN-L] IIIF

[Tina Shah]

Hey everyone, it seemed like more people were talking about IIIF (
http://iiif.io/) at MCN this year. It definitely came up a lot more in my
conversations! We had a good turnout at our informal lunch gathering,
talking with people from various institutions about what IIIF is, first
steps in getting setup, use cases, and we even had a great new example of
IIIF and Mirador in action by the Art Gallery of Ontario, check it out -
http://boxwood.ago.ca/collection.

For anyone interested in joining the IIIF community or just simply
learning more, join the discussion list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/iiif-discuss.
We also have monthly calls for the IIIF Museum Interest Group that we post
about through this list.

Thanks,

Tina

Re: [MCN-L] 360-Projection Examples and Experience

[Tina Shah]

Hi, here are a couple of examples from the Electronic Visualization
Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

- CAVE2 -  approximately 24 feet in diameter and 8 feet tall, and consists
of 72 near-seamless passive stereo off-axis-optimized 3D LCD panels, a
36-node high-performance computer cluster, a 20-speaker surround audio
system, a 10-camera optical tracking system and a 100-Gigabit/second
connection to the outside world. CAVE2 provides users with a 320-degree
panoramic environment for displaying information at 37 Megapixels in 3D or
74 Megapixels in 2D with a horizontal visual acuity of 20/20 - almost 10
times the 3D resolution of the original CAVE.

Here's a performance that was done with the CAVE2 last year:

[MCN-L] Art Institute's first online scholarly catalogues

[Tina Shah]

Hi Everyone, the Art Institute just announced the publication of their
first online scholarly catalogues (OSCI) for Monet and Renoir:

*Monet and Renoir: Paintings and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago*
http://www.artic.edu/research/digital-publications/online-scholarly-catalogues/?utm_medium=listservutm_source=mcn-lutm_campaign=osciutm_content=8-13-14

Below is part of the official announcement, if you get a chance to take a
look, please share your thoughts!

The volumes feature forty-seven works by Monet and twenty-five works by
Renoir. Entries on the paintings and drawings include new art historical
research and unprecedented high-resolution imaging that allows readers to
zoom in to see the artist?s brushstrokes, as well as previously unpublished
technical photography that unveils information hidden beneath the surface
of the artwork through interactive, layered images showing X-ray, infrared,
and other technical imaging. Conservation reports on each artwork offer
in-depth studies of the artist?s process and incorporate new scientific
data on his materials. Other features include a glossary, scanned archival
materials, and biographical information about significant historical
collectors for the museum.

Funded by the Getty Foundation and the Art Institute?s David and Mary Winton
Green Nineteenth-Century Research Fund, with additional staffing support
from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and scientific research support from
the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, these catalogues are part of the
Getty Foundation?s
Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (OSCI). In 2009 the Getty Foundation
launched OSCI in partnership with the J. Paul Getty Museum and eight other
museums and issued them a challenge to transition from printed scholarly
catalogues to multimedia, web-based publications. The goal of the
consortium was to create online catalogues that would dramatically increase
access to museum collections; make available new, interdisciplinary,
up-to-date research; and revolutionize how research is conducted,
presented, and utilized. The digital publishing team at the Art Institute
of Chicago conceived and managed the Monet and Renoir projects and oversaw
the development of the ChicagoCodeX, which has served as the foundation of
the open-source, digital publishing platform OSCI Toolkit
(oscitoolkit.com). The
ChicagoCodeX is an enormous achievement and a vital part of the multimuseum
OSCI project.



Free to the public, the Monet and Renoir catalogues are the first in the
online series *The Impressionist Circle at the Art Institute of Chicago*.
Three more volumes, focusing on Camille Pissarro, ?douard Manet, and Paul
Gauguin, will be released in 2015 and are supported by the Mellon
Foundation. Another online catalogue funded by Mellon, dedicated to the Art
Institute?s collection of Roman art, will be published in December 2015.
