On April 1st, 2026 at 5PM (Eastern time), I'll lead an @isawnyu.bsky.social "Expanding the Ancient World Workshop" titled "Digital Approaches to Global Art History: The Example of the Human Figure" and on topic of using GAERHF in teaching. isaw.nyu.edu/events/etaw-... to register. #GlobalAntiquity
The project I'll be talking about , gaerhf.org , is in its earliest stages. The talk is my first substantial public presentation on it. I'll welcome all feedback I get and you can expect that it will lead to improvements at all scales. I'm grateful to whomever can join in any mode. #GlobalAntiquity
It's maybe a bit repetitive of me to repost this but I am making progress on the interface for "Global Approaches to Early Representations of the Human Figure" (GAERHF). Feedback welcome. Overall goal is exploration of user-defined spatial and chronological context for any figure. #GlobalAntiquity
Try the new "gallery" UI element in "Global Approaches to Early Representations of the Human Figure"... #GlobalAntiquity
Program poster.
Here's the poster for @isawnyu.bsky.social PhD program. We're eager to support students working across multiple scales of inquiry in the ancient Afroeurasia. I can send a PDF if you DM. See here for our open house: isaw.nyu.edu/events/open-... . Please forward as you think useful. #GlobalAntiquity
Sunday Morning GAERHF thread. Mood? #GlobalAntiquity
There are now 450 entries in GAERHF. So I made a video of scrolling through the "List" view. And paused to click on a few along the way. That was a bit random. This all neither here nor there yet. Much work to do! I had to compress it a bit to get under 100 mb. #GlobalAntiquity #GlobalDH gaerhf.org
A thread on the current state of coverage of the Arabian Peninsula in "Global Approaches to Early Representations of the Human Figure". Though I missed this one, which was staged in GitHub: gaerhf.org#female-khor-... . #GlobalAntiquity 🧵
GAERHF is beginning - though only that! - to capture the range and time depth of representations of human figures from the Arabian Peninsula. Here's a thread in chronological order of what's been entered so far. With more lined up... #GlobalAntiquity #Arabia
Working on the little script to generate these. Definitely "vibe coding" here. Map title now indicates center. Here's Palmyra. #GlobalAntiquity
