Critical Digital Art History
Interface and Data Politics in the Post-Digital EraEdited by Amanda Wasielewski and Anna Näslund
Intellect Books, 2024
Approaching the use of digital technology in art history from a theoretical perspective.
Digital art history has often aligned itself with the practical concerns of digital technology and the responsibilities of art institutions and associated institutional roles such as collection managers, information specialists, curators, and conservators. This emphasis on practicalities and implementation, while undeniably important, has often left little room for critical examination of the broader implications of digital technology and computational methodologies in art history.
A long-standing concern of the field—and a major focal point of this book—is museum and collecting practices in the digital era. While there is a certain degree of continuity in the field, there are also important shifts and changes to address—namely, the widespread uptake of artificial intelligence tools and increased attention to both the broader historical and societal aspects of the use of digital repositories and tools. This anthology seeks to address the dearth of critical reflection by critically assessing specific case study examples and considering the political dimensions associated with large-scale digitization and the application of digital tools within museums and collection management.

Critique and the Digital
Edited by Erich Hörl, Nelly Y. Pinkrah, and Lotte Warnsholdt
Diaphanes, 2020
Erich Hörl, Nelly Y. Pinkrah, and Lotte Warnsholdt gather diverse perspectives on one agreed-upon condition: that the computational power of today’s world has fundamentally transformed all aspects of it. The contributors investigate and question not only the possible sites of critique but also of the concept of critique. If there used to be a critical subject constituted in the cultural techniques of modernity, and if digitality indicates itself as a product of modernity while at the same time somehow being its very ending, what are the ramifications? Digitality severely alters the critical subject and its spatio-temporal relations, and it therefore interferes with its potential to be a critical subject. The contributors of this volume ask what critique in the digital age might look like and offer specific examples of critique and critical practices.
