INTERFACE: Visualizing Collaboration

Submitted by Cathy Davidson on Feb 09, 2009, 01:03 PM
The HASTAC Scholars Forum on "The Future of Digital Humanities" led by NEH's Director of the Office of Digital Humanities Brett Bobley and HASTAC Scholars Michael Gavin and Kathleen Smith has brought up some very interesting points about collaboration. In 2006-2007, HASTAC organized the In/Formation Year around eighty institutions co-located at a dozen sites, with one public online event per month. Duke's InFormation topic was "INTERFACE" and our Franklin Humanities Institute Seminar met weekly to work on issues of human/computer interfaces and then worked together on an installation in our Virtual Reality and sensor spaces to visualize collaborative networks. Here is the fruit of that project, archived online: http://vis.cs.duke.edu/Research/interface/index.html. The project was led by Tim Lenoir, Priscilla Wald, Rachael Brady, and Harry Halpin, with input from all of the scholars in the Seminar.

I-CHASS|WED 7/30 Part I

On Wednesday morning Michael Meredith didn?t stay as long as usual at the group's breakfast table. He wanted to get ready for his demo of Virtual Vellum, starting at 9AM sharp.

Michael is just a really great communicator. I wish that more CS folks were like him...:) Even in something as serious as Illuminated manuscripts he finds a way to make things fun such as by callin the "Manuscripts Torture Chamber" to the room where they carefully manipulate the manuscripts - most (all?) from France and Belgium.

We took photographs today in the DiV virtual reality space and then in the FCIEMAS atrium outside of it.  It was . . . real!
