Stephen Whiteman (The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London)

Join us as Stephen Whiteman, senior lecturer in the Art and Architecture of China at The Courtauld Institute of Art, gives a virtual talk on the combination of formal and comparative analysis and digital tools to explore the mathematical and technical means by which perspective was adapted and incorporated outside Europe. By countering Eurocentric assumptions, Whiteman suggests ways in which digital tools both allow and compel re-examination of core art historical questions and cultural assumptions, advancing decentered understandings of the past and present.
