DARKROOM TO DATA is a symposium hosted by the Lens Media Lab featuring the lab’s research into the material history of black and white photography and providing a forum for our principal collaborations, including contributions from colleagues at the Center for Creative Photography, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The theme of this work is “seeing at scale” through the creation and interpretation of datasets that surface patterns latent in photograph collections.

Join us for the launch of the Yale IPCH Public Talks: a series dedicated to exploring global perspectives and critical developments that impact cultural heritage preservation. In this inaugural event, this distinguished expert panel will contextualize the highly anticipated John Randle Centre for Yoruba History and Culture within the economic, social, and cultural landscape of Lagos, the most populous city on the African continent.

The physics of the time orientation of causation is more subtle than what it looks like superficially. For a long while it was reduced to a mere linguistic issue (a “cause” is just the term of a correlation that happens earlier, Hume). As emphasized by Russell, there is no time orientation in fundamental physics. But causation was later better understood as an essential notion in the context of an agent having choices, which after all is our own common context. This traces the time orientation of causation to the time orientation of agency.

The 2020 Yale Day of Data will be held virtually over two half-days, December 3 and 4*, with the theme “In the Service of Data.”

The Yale Day of Data is an event that brings researchers together from a variety of disciplines to discuss finding, analyzing, and managing data.
