Virtual Harper Lecture: Digitizing East Asian Art: International Mediations and Collaboration

Join Wu Hung, Wei-Cheng Lin, and Katherine Tsiang to learn more about the Dispersed Chinese Art Digitization Project (DCADP) and its ambitious plans.

Established in 2003, the University of Chicago’s Center for the Art of East Asia (CAEA) has become internationally renowned for creating innovative methods and technologies for art historical teaching and research. These efforts have resulted in the founding of a larger collaborative initiative, the DCADP, to record, archive, and digitally restore fragments of Chinese cultural sites and increase global understanding of the country’s cultural heritage. The reconstruction of these sites will be accompanied by conferences, exhibitions, and publications that reconsider the significance of traditional Chinese artistic and cultural sites in contemporary global contexts.

Part of the UChicago Alumni and Friends Harper Lecture Winter 2021 Series. Originally broadcast on March 17, 2021.
