Abstract

A team of computer scientist, analysts and multimedia experts will trace, analyse and theorise valuable cultural online production. Their focus will be on the online artworks that are hidden, concealed or withdrawn due to the networked situation into which they were inserted. They will study this under the ERC-funded COSE project, which sets out to reveal the inner workings of code-based artworks. To uncover these much-neglected aspects, an interdisciplinary team will complement art history methods with approaches from media, game and code studies, software forensics and visual design. The findings of the project will also empower scholars in the humanities, providing analytical instruments and a general understanding of our media-technological condition.
