Organized by the Institute of Art History in Zagreb in collaboration with the University of Zagreb University Computing Centre (SRCE) and DARIAH-HR, this year’s DAH conference centers on the epistemological, methodological, and political assumptions that shape how we engage with materials through which knowledge is constructed. The theme Critical Approaches to Sources in (Digital) Art History brings together forty scholars, independent researchers, and artists from sixteen countries (Austria, Brazil, Croatia, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, the United States). Over the two days of the conference, participants will examine the question of sources at the heart of historical and art historical inquiry through diverse disciplinary and methodological perspectives.

Far from being neutral, sources are shaped by institutional, disciplinary, and technological contexts, and by processes of classification, collection, and exclusion that are historically and politically charged. This year’s DAH conference critically examines these dynamics, exploring how sources are defined, produced, and circulated, and how they intersect with histories of colonialism, gender, race, class, and labor. Alongside these debates, many contributions showcase digital tools—ranging from mapping and visualization to data mining and algorithmic critique—not just as technical aids but as means of rethinking the epistemological and political foundations of art historical research.

Ovogodišnja konferencija „Digitalna povijest umjetnosti”, u organizaciji Instituta za povijest umjetnosti, Sveučilišnog računskog centra (SRCE) i DARIAH-HR, posvećena je epistemološkim, metodološkim i političkim pretpostavkama koje oblikuju naš odnos prema izvorima na temelju kojih gradimo znanje. Tema konferencije, Kritički pristupi izvorima u (digitalnoj) povijesti umjetnosti, okuplja četrdeset znanstvenika, nezavisnih istraživača i umjetnika iz šesnaest zemalja (Austrija, Brazil, Hrvatska, Češka, Francuska, Njemačka, Mađarska, Indija, Malta, Nizozemska, Rumunjska, Srbija, Singapur, Slovenija, Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, Sjedinjene Američke Države). Tijekom dvodnevnog programa sudionici će se baviti pitanjem izvora u povijesnim i povijesnoumjetničkim istraživanjima, pristupajući im iz različitih disciplinarnih i metodoloških perspektiva.

Izvori nisu neutralni—oblikovani su institucionalnim, disciplinarnim i tehnološkim kontekstima te procesima klasifikacije, prikupljanja i isključivanja koji su povijesno i politički uvjetovani. Ovogodišnja DAH konferencija kritički razmatra te dinamike, istražujući kako se izvori definiraju, proizvode i cirkuliraju, te kako se isprepliću s poviješću kolonijalizma, roda, rase, klase i rada. Brojni prilozi predstavljaju digitalne alate—od mapiranja i vizualizacije do rudarenja podataka i algoritamske kritike—ne samo kao tehnička pomagala, nego kao sredstva za promišljanje epistemoloških i političkih temelja povijesnoumjetničkih istraživanja.
