DESCRIPTION:Prof. Maximilian Schich\, Associate Professor in Arts and Tech
 nology\, University of Texas\nThis lecture will outline a perspective towa
 rds a systematic science of art and culture. As such\, the proposed approa
 ch integrates qualitative inquiry with computation\, natural science\, and
  information design\, while sharing the aim of understanding the process o
 f art and cultural history with so-called "traditional practice".\n\nIt ex
 plores unknown complex emerging structure and dynamics by analyzing large 
 data sets\, using both quantitative measurement and qualitative inquiry. S
 imilar to systems biology\, the procedure is characterized by multidiscipl
 inary co-authorship and publications that make extensive use of scholarly 
 figures. Justifying the need for such an approach\, it will be argued that
  the process of art history is both transcending and exponential\, while t
 he discipline of art history\, in principle\, has no limits in method.
