Read/Download is a discussion group that inhabits the perceived boundary between “traditional” reading and computational interpretation of culture.

Participants will examine topics in humanistic study that have been touched by technology and weigh the implications for art and scholarship. Sessions are anchored by short suggested readings and may include layman-friendly code analysis.

All are welcome, and format is flexible: participants interested in doing guest presentations are warmly encouraged to contact Dan Johnson (djohns27@nd.edu) about possibilities.

Coffee and cookies provided.

Requirements: None other than suggested readings, although participants may wish to bring their own laptops to explore projects that are discussed.
