Workshop on image processing

The Museum of Modern Art is hosting an all day workshop on Image
Processing and Analysis of Works of Art on November 9, 2007. This is
a follow up conference to the recent workshop held in Maastricht.
While focused primarily on works by van Gogh this workshop means to
bring specialists in art history, conservation and image processing
together to more fully identify and articulate potential areas and
methods of collaborative research. While this workshop requires no
registration fee those wishing to attend should e-mail the Museum to
reserve space. The Museum contact is bonnie_lee [at] moma__org.
