[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.

[MCN-L] Digital Catalogues at the Art Institute of Chicago

[Tina Shah]

 Hi Everyone, the Art Institute of Chicago is pleased to announce the
release of its next three nineteenth-century digital scholarly
publications: collection catalogues on Gustave Caillebotte and Camille
Pissarro, and an exhibition catalogue on the collaborative efforts of James
McNeill Whistler and Theodore Roussel. You can access the volumes using the
following link (in order to take advantage of the full functionality of the
catalogues, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome, Safari, or
Firefox):

*Digital Catalogues at the Art Institute of Chicago
<http://www.artic.edu/research/digital-publications/online-scholarly-catalogues/?&utm_medium=listserv&utm_source=mcn-l&utm_campaign=s2015&utm_content=8-4-15>*

Groundbreaking conservation and research discoveries about the remarkable
and beloved painting Paris Street; Rainy Day are revealed in Caillebotte
Paintings and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago, the third volume in
the museum’s digital series on the Impressionist circle. Among the many
digital assets in the catalogue is a video filmed on the very street that
the artist depicted; it explains how Caillebotte may have used a camera
lucida to create his preparatory sketch of the streetscape and how this
sketch was used in the creation of the painting. Interactive and layered
high-resolution imaging, an additional five videos, and previously
unpublished technical photographs unveil extensive new research on this and
the other works in the Art Institute’s collection. Like the other volumes
in the series Artists of the Impressionist Circle at the Art Institute of
Chicago, the publication features a glossary, scans of archival materials,
and biographical information about historical collectors significant to the
museum. Authors include Art Institute of Chicago staff members Gloria
Groom, Senior Curator and David and Mary Winton Green Curator of
Nineteenth-Century European Painting and Sculpture; Nancy Ireson, Rothman
Family Associate Curator; Kelly Keegan, Assistant Paintings Conservator;
and Antoinette Owen, Senior Conservator of Prints and Drawings.

Pissarro Paintings and Works on Paper at the Art Institute of Chicago is
the museum’s fourth volume in its digital series on the Impressionist
circle. It features ten paintings and seven works on paper from across the
artist’s career, including—uniquely among major museums—both a painting and
one of its preparatory drawings. The curatorial and conservation entries,
which include new high-resolution photography, draw fascinating connections
between Pissarro’s life and work, and offer novel insights into his
technique, showing how he consistently pushed Impressionist approaches in
new directions. The volume is edited by Gloria Groom and Research Associate
Genevieve Westerby. Authors include Richard Brettell, Margaret M. McDermott
Distinguished Chair of Art and Aesthetic Studies at the University of Texas
at Dallas and Founding Director of the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art
History in Dallas; Kelly Keegan, Assistant Paintings Conservator at the Art
Institute of Chicago; and Kimberly Nichols, Associate Paper Conservator at
the Art Institute of Chicago.

Whistler and Roussel: Linked Visions accompanies a current Art Institute
exhibition of the same title that explores the artistic collaboration
between James McNeill Whistler and Theodore Roussel. The catalogue offers a
new perspective on the artists, their circle, and resulting innovations in
nineteenth-century art. It features an in-depth essay by independent
scholar Meg Hausberg and an introduction by Victoria Sancho-Lobis, Prince
Trust Associate Curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Art
Institute, as well as high-resolution images of many of the works and an
illustrated checklist of all 214 objects in the exhibition.

All three volumes are free to the public. Generous funding from the Mellon
Foundation supported the Pissarro project, and the Art Institute’s David
and Mary Winton Green Nineteenth-Century Research Fund made possible both
the Pissarro and Caillebotte catalogues. The Lunder Foundation provided
research support for Whistler and Roussel: Linked Visions. The catalogues
were builtusing the OSCI Toolkit (oscitoolkit.com), an open-source, digital
publishing platform. Find the code for the customized AIC OSCI Toolkit here
<https://github.com/aic-collections>https://github.com/aic-collections under
the OSCI-Toolkit, OSCI-Toolkit-Frontend, and ChicagoCodeX repositories.

Upcoming digital collection catalogues—one focusing on Paul Gauguin, the
other on ancient Roman art, and both funded by the Mellon Foundation—will
be released in late 2015.
Thanks!

[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=listserv&utm_source=mcn-l&utm_campaign=osci&utm_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.
