The Virtual Mountain Estate: Remediating experience in an 18th century Chinese landscape
Join us on Wednesday 5 February for a Digital Scholarship Lunchtime Lecture with Stephen Whiteman, Reader in the Art and Architecture of China at the Courtauld, co-hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship and the Asian and Middle Eastern Collections at the Bodleian Libraries. The event has been generously supported by the HD Chung Fund.

What contributed to the early modern Chinese experience of culturally mediated landscapes? How can interactive, immersive environments help scholars reconstruct and present that experience for academic and public audiences? This talk offers an overview of the Virtual Mountain Estate, which explores these questions through views of a Qing imperial garden in the early eighteenth century.

This event is free. Booking is required.
