The program is as follows:
1. The Problem of Distance in Digital Art History: Using the ResearchSpace Knowledge system to capture research methods and thinking. (in English)
Speaker: Dominic Oldman (Head of ResearchSpace & Senior Curator, British Museum, UK)
Abstract: This paper describes a different approach to the use of digital technology and particularly data. This approach views computer systems not just as a way of publishing quantitative references and finding aids but also as environments for representing thinking, interpretations, and arguments. It will use examples from various projects, including the British Museum's Late Hokusai site. These examples show how principles of knowledge representation can be combined with humanities research methods to remove fragmentation and represent complex context. In doing so, ResearchSpace addresses the intellectual, as well as physical aspects, required to fully investigate and analyse research questions using digital tools.
2. Various Needs of Chinese Classics in East Asia / 東アジアにおける漢籍需要の多様性 (in Japanese)
Speaker: Riku TONO (Assistant Professor, Kinugasa Research Organization, Ritsumeikan University)

Event Dates: Saturday, March 20 & Sunday, March 21, 2021The Art Research Center (ARC) is pleased to announce the special exhibition "Kimono no Mushiboshi Ten" (「着物の虫干し展」) at the Nagae Family Residence, a designated tangible cultural property by the city of Kyoto.
Exhibited are daily-used kimonos that are taken from the storehouse and air-dried in the sun - a traditional Japanese practice called Mushiboshi - to prevent the clothes from the damage of insects and mold.
In the space of the traditional Kyo-machiya (wooden townhouse), kimonos from the early Showa period and tools of the trade and daily life of that time are shown. At the same time, there will be an exhibition of the research in digital archiving by Ritsumeikan University in a separate tatami room.
