That’s the provocative title of the upcoming CHART (Computers and the History of Art) conference (in London, November 2010). Here’s their rationale for the title – full details of the conference on their website:
“In recent decades the traditional practices of Art History have come increasingly under attack. This has led to changes so extreme that some have talked of the ‘death of Art History’. The CHArt 2010 Conference wishes to explore the role of digital technologies in the disruption of Art History and the profound changes in the way that we display, consume and study art.”
