SUMMARY:Blending Art\, Minds\, and Artifacts: Understanding How We See What We See by  Maurizio Forte
DESCRIPTION:Maurizio Forte\, Ph.D.\, Duke University \nThis event is kindly hosted by the Embassy of Italy\, Washington\, D.C. \nIn the DC-area and wish to attend in person? Register here: https://embassyofitaly2.swoogo.com/etruscanAI \nThis lecture looks at how art\, archaeology\, and artificial intelligence come together\, focusing on how our\nminds perceive and understand ancient artifacts. It also explores how experiencing historic spaces can en-\ncourage cultural exchange. Using AI tools like neural networks\, we can rethink archaeological sites and monuments as ever-changing\nrather than fixed objects\, evolving each time they are observed and interpreted. Examples include the fa-\nmous Etruscan Sarcophagus of the Spouses (housed at the Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome)\, which has now\nbeen digitally reconstructed using AI models and brainwave (EEG) analysis to study how people respond to\nvirtual simulations. By combining AI and biometric tools to measure engagement\, this approach shows how\ntechnology can help us see the ancient world in new ways. Dr. Forte challenges us to think differently about\nwhat it means to view something\, suggesting that seeing is an active process that creates rich\, layered sto-\nries shaped by memory\, context\, and technology. \nA pioneer in digital and cyberarchaeology\, Maurizio Forte is the William and Sue Gross Distinguished Pro-\nfessor of Classical Studies Art\, Art History\, and Visual Studies at Duke University in Durham\, North Carolina.\nJoining in the discussion following the talk will be P. Gregory Warden\, Ph.D.\, president of the Etruscan\nFoundation\, who has worked in Mediterranean archaeology for over 50 years.
