ARTigo: Social Image Tagging / Stefanie Schneider (DE)
ARTigo, a Citizen Science initiative by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich’s Institute for Art History and Institute for Informatics, democratizes the traditionally elitist field of art history by harnessing the collective intelligence of participants since 2010. The project illuminates the notion that cultural heritage is a product of not only experts but also the everyday human experience. Its primary aim is to facilitate the generation of art-historical image descriptions in a playful manner, thereby expediting image searches and innovative methodologies for scholarly inquiry.
