The Red Dot is an informational and ongoing list about visual and material news and resources, aimed at the University of California, Santa Barbara community, but open to all.
In case you don’t get the reference, it’s the little red dot in the corners of our legacy 35mm slides that helps you with orientation. And that’s what we’re here for – orientation, information, hot tips, and more. We’ll be posting regularly on Digital Humanities – and specifically Digital Art and Architectural History, new image and data resources, copyright, and events of interest.
