FAQs

The Ger­man Renais­sance painter Albrecht Dür­er has been one of the most inno­v­a­tive artists of his time and open to new imag­ing tech­nol­o­gy. If you come to Munich, you will be able to see his 1500 self-por­­trait in the Alte Pinakothek in which he shows him­self as the per­son­i­fi­ca­tion of progress and pride in art pro­duc­tion. What a bet­ter patron could we choose to pre­side over a week of cod­ing, data analy­sis and visualization?

By the way: Cod­ing Dür­er fol­lows the idea of Cod­ing Da Vin­ci, a Ger­man open cul­tur­al data hackathon that start­ed in 2014. Cod­ing Dür­er is sim­i­lar, it only sets the focus on art-his­­tor­i­­cal data.

And last­ly: No par­tic­u­lar knowl­edge on Dür­er is nec­es­sary par­tic­i­pat­ing here. But if we do hap­pen to cre­ate some­thing that is relat­ed to Dür­er, it would be fantastic.

This is a five days inter­na­tion­al and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary Hackathon for Art His­to­ry and Infor­ma­tion Sci­ence that takes place March 13 – 17, 2017 in Munich, Germany

Just apply with this form until Jan­u­ary 10.

Due to space and finances this is an event for the select­ed par­tic­i­pants only.
How­ev­er, we are plan­ning to make parts pub­lic. Please stay tuned and fre­quent­ly check our web­site for more infor­ma­tion.
In the pre­lim­i­nary sched­ule we have indi­cat­ed what parts are pub­lic and what are live-streamed. This might change until short­ly before the event.

Accom­mo­da­tions will be pro­vid­ed by the orga­ni­za­tion­al team. As par­tic­i­pant you have received more infor­ma­tion by email.

Check-in on Mon­day from 15:00, check-out on Fri­day until 12:00.

Best check the Deutsche Bahn for connections.

No spe­cial pri­or knowl­edge is required. If you are an art his­to­ri­an, you should know your own field and have an inter­est in data sci­ence and mixed meth­ods. If you are an infor­ma­tion sci­en­tist, you should know your field and have an inter­est in art his­to­ry and mixed methods.

No par­tic­u­lar knowl­edge on Dür­er is nec­es­sary par­tic­i­pat­ing here. But if we do hap­pen to cre­ate some­thing that is relat­ed to Dür­er, it would be fan­tas­tic, of course.

Bring your own laptop.

If you are com­ing from abroad, you may need to bring a pow­er plug adapter for Ger­many.
