UC San Diego - Software Studies Initiative - Lev Manovich

San Diego, Jan. 9, 2009 -- High-performance computing and the humanities are connecting at the University of California, San Diego - with a little matchmaking help from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

The two agencies have awarded 330,000 hours of time on DOE supercomputers to UC San Diegos Software Studies Initiative (softwarestudies.com) to explore the full potential of cultural analytics in a project on Visualizing Patterns in Databases of Cultural Images and Video. The grant is one of three inaugural awards from a new Humanities High Performance Computing Program established jointly by DOE and NEH.

In this Video Professor Lev Manovich of the Department of Visual Arts at UC San Diego discusses his research and the award.
