We’ve started day 2 of “Material Immaterial” at the Yale Center For British Art! There will be a series of panels this morning discussing collecting the immaterial, market effects, collections as data sets, and materials and meaning. Seminars this afternoon will tackle topics including issues in reprinting color photographs, neural nets for image analysis, the promises and limits of digitization in studying historic photographic processes, and William Henry Fox Talbot’s “The Pencil of Nature.”
