RomeLab: 160 BCE. The Art of the Visual Argument
November 30, 2012 @ 12:00 am
Through textual, visual, and interactive, virtual world-based analysis, this talk will examine and re-evaluate the visual argumentation employed during one of the most critical moments of image manipulation at Rome, the aristocratic funeral of the 2nd century BCE.
Part of the presentation will take place within a multi-user, interactive virtual world. Attendees from the UCSB community who have password access to university wifi are encouraged to bring their laptops to the talk to participate directly in the visual argument.
